It is 9 days after my Restylane injection in eye trough and I still have bruise. Will it go away? (photo)

Hi @JennaV! Bruising can take up to two weeks to resolve. I recommend you apply arnica. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Bruising underneath the eyes can be improved by using Bruisestick Arnica ointment twice daily to the skin. 

Residual bruising following treatment with filler for the tear trough is not abnormal after 9 days. It can take two weeks to resolve, and sometimes longer depending on the patient. I would recommend following up with your physician who performed the injections, as he/she knows the extent of your treatment and will be able to advise you. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Jenna,Your bruise will likely clear up during the next 1-2 weeks. I recommend taking oral arnica supplements to expedite the clearance. Lasers, such as Vbeam and KTP, or pulsed light treatments can also help.In the future, you can prevent this type of bruise by having your contouring treatments with a cannula rather than a needle.Good luck!

Hi Jenna. We have had patients in the past that noted bruising past 9 days. We now treat them with a pulsed dye laser (Vbeam or Vstar) to resolve any bruising usually within 1-2 days. In your case because this is not available, we would suggest waiting another week. If the bruise appears to look more brownish, it may be a longer lasting issue referred to as hemosiderin staining. This is a darkening of the skin around the area of the bruise that takes much longer to resolve. In this case, a laser can also help and we use q-switched lasers.Take another week to see how things go and if it is still a problem at that point consider these options for treating it.
