Swelling varies from person to person, thought this seems to be more than usually seen. Here are some tips to minimize swelling next time: Stay away from medicines and vitamins that increase bruising for a few weeks prior to your injection. These include but not limited ot Vit E, Fish and Krill Oil, Omega 3 fatty acids, aspirin, alleive, ibuprofen, garlic oil, etc. A high Blood Pressure tends to cause more swelling and bruising in my experience.Cooling with ice (never directly on the skin), head elevation, Arnica, Bromelain and Advil after a few days will tend to help with swelling.
It is possible to have swelling as you have shown after fillers in the tear trough. Rest assured that the swelling will go away. I would consider a light steroid pill, medrol dose pack, for my patients if it is medically safe. Icing and elavation will help. I hope this helps.
Swelling can occur after injection of any dermal filler. Applying ice packs can help. If you have any concerns you should contact your physician's office.
The tear trough area in particular can swell and bruise more than other areas, and for longer. I've had a couple patients that really swelled up, while most don't swell all that much (but certainly more than say the cheeks or laugh lines). Best to ice, sleep on your back & on an extra pillow, and consider an antihistamine.
Yes very possible. use iced compresses for 24 hours than return to see your injecting doctor.........

Thank you for your question. I recommend my patients do not apply any pressure to the injection site for 72 hours (3 days) to reduce the risk of moving any product. It may be best to reschedule. Contact your injector and discuss their specific post treatment instructions. All the...
Thank you for your question. Lipstick after lip injections should cause no adverse reaction. All the best,
Thank you for your question. If you are experiencing dry eyes attempt to cure with natural tears for the first few weeks while your eyes are adjusting to the fillers. After the 2 weeks if your eyes remain dry, schedule an appointment with your injector to be assessed in person. Best,
Thank you for your question. It appears as though you could use some dermal filler to your under eyes bilaterally. In regards to your previous injection, it is difficult to assess where the product was placed. Please obtain an in person second opinion or schedule a follow up with your injector...
Restylane is commonly injected to the tear trough with great success. I am sorry that you are having issues with your injection. The first step with lumps or bumps from injection would be to dissolve the filler. I would believe that all of the Restylane has been dissolved if...
