Is It Possible to Develope Goose Egg Type Lumps After Receivng Restylane Injections in my Tear Trough Area?

Question

I know this sounds crazy but 2 weeks after receiving the injections I awakened to find 2 rather large lumps on my forehead.Definitely not a bug bite. It did not hurt to touch it or itch, just looked weird. This happened again the following week. This has never happened to me before. I had also experienced some dizziness. I am happy with the results however.Could my body have experienced an allergic reaction to restylane? Kathy W. New Jersey

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

If Restylane was injected to the tear trough area only, it's hard to imagine that you would have the type of reaction you are explaining, in your forehead. It's normal to have some bruising and/or swelling around the area or areas injected post treatment, peaking around day 3.

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

Having said that, please do contact your doctor and be seen.  You most likely have something going on that should be assessed.  However, Restylane does not migrate beyond the immediate area it is injected into unless it is accidentally injected intravascularly.  When this occurs there can be disturbances in the injected circulation that are very characteristic.  This is not what you are describing.

Daniel Shapiro, MD · Answer

After treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, or tenderness. These are typically mild in severity and normally last less than 7 days in nasolabial folds Although rare, red or swollen small bumps may occur. Are the bumps red or swollen? I would suggest meeting with your doctor to see if the symptoms could be a result of the treatment, or if you had an allergic reaction.

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

Not a reaction to your Restylane.  Especially since these occurances are happening in a completely different area than where injected with the product.  I suggest you follow up with your Dermatologist the next time these "lumps" appear.

This would not be an allergic reaction to restylane.  The reaction would have to occur in the site of injection where the material is located.  Not in a distant site.
