I had Restylane injected between my eyes, this is the 2nd week and its worse, what cab I do? (photos)

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear you are unhappy with your results. Massaging the lumps may help smooth them out. If you are still unhappy, hyaluronidase can be injected to completely dissolve the filler. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation. Hope this helps.

I suggest reversing the filler if you are getting swelling and are concerned with the results. Best, Dr. Emer.

The first thing I would do would be to aggressively massage those areas as you may be able to either dissolve some of the product or smooth it out on your own. I would do that for several weeks and if it still bothers you go back to your doctor and ask if they can dissolve some of the product with hyaluronidase.

Swelling and lumps from Restylane and other hyaluronic acid fillers can occur and may be due to several causes.  Most commonly superficial injection or too much product can cause a lump; luckily this can be reduce quickly with hyaluronidase injections.  Also, local infections can present as a lump.  And finally, inflammatory nodules can rarely occur later as late as several months after injections.  This is likely too much filler or a small infection.  Have it evaluated and treated by an expert in facial injections.

This is not particularly normal to see with injections into the Glabella.  I agree that you should be careful of injecting in this area.  The fortunate thing about restylane is that it can be dissolved with Wydase.You should probably see a specialist in the face (Double Board Certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon) and not someone who cannot handle the complications should there be one.I hope this helps.

 Thank you for sharing your question and posting a photos. You should have hyaluronidase injected to dissolve the Restylane and then have Botox injected into the glabellar area (between the eyebrows). Make sure an experienced, board-certified injector performs the treatment.Good luck,

Thank you for your question and photos. It is common to have swelling after injection, which can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can ice the treated area to help minimize swelling. If you are unhappy with your final results you can have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. Best of Luck!

Swelling after Restylane is common for the first few days after the injection but if it's still swollen at 2 weeks it is unlikely to improve.  If you don't like the results then you should have the filler dissolved. Best of luck.

Thank you for your Q and pics.If you don't lie the effect, then it is time fo it to be dissoluted with hyaluronidase (Vitrase).BestDr. Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
