Discoloration on Injection Sites One Year After Restylane

tken7
When I was treated with Restylane a year ago, I was not informed that pain medication shouldn't be taken before the procedure. Since I had taken Advil the night before, I was wondering if it was the reason why I had severe bruising which lasted for months. I still have discoloration around the injection sites, which I fear would never go away. Was it due to advil or to the doctor's injection skills? Also, is there a remedy for this? And is it safe to have Restylane again?
