Hello, yesterday I got restylane injected into my lips and underneath my eyes. I'm very swollen and sore now but I guess that is normal. So far I have no bruising and I think it went well, but I am a very anxious person and get very scared that something is wrong so I was wondering how long after injecting restylane underneath your eyes would you notice signs of complications such as blindness etc? I read that it would happen straight away but is it possible for this to happen 1-3 days after?
