Under Eye Restylane Massive Swelling? (photo)

June 2, 2012
Asked By:sheldon75 in uk

I had restylane under my eyes injected yesterday almost 1 cc each side. Procedure was painless and instant results were astonishing. I have never looked better in last 5 years. Unfortunately about 5 hours after procedure I have noticed swelling developing slowly and some soreness. Today in the morning ca 15 hours after procedure I have woken up with massive swelling under my eyes. I look like I was assaulted. There is very little tenderness in the area and slight bruising maybe.
