Swelling and bruising after restylane on tear troughs and marionette lines. Should I worry? (Photo)

June 28, 2014
Asked By:Narcy in Florida, FL

I had restylane in my tear troughs and marionette lines today. I bruise easily, so wasn't surprised to see bruising, but I wasn't expecting the swelling. I iced on and off all day, took oral arnica Montana, and topical. I look like I got in a bar fight. In the pix, I even have concealer on.. Is this much bruising and swelling anything I should be concerned about? How long will this last? Anything more I can do to lessen it? Thanks'
