Asked By:Steenie19

May 16th I received Restylane filler in my tear troughs with cannula method. Had hardly any swelling or discoloration/bruising around eyes. Under my right eye I developed a reddish discolored line and there is a an aching feeling on the area. I was worried of an infection, so May 31st visited with my provider assured me not infection. I’m wondering if filler was placed too low and why discoloration is happening so late? Should the filler dissolved? Is this discoloration permanent?
