Monday RN/injector prescribed prednisone/arnica. It feels less bumpy and looks better in the mirror (looks awful in the close up pic). After reading reviews I'm scared it's necrosis and I might go blind. Do you think it's necrosis and can I go blind?

Answer: I got Restalyne on my forehead on Friday (for a scar/wrinkle). By Saturday night I had a big red, bumpy spot on my forehead. Hello Tracey C,I am not a fan of injecting fillers into the forehead for various reasons. You had indicated you were concerned about the risk of blindness and skin necrosis. Blindness has been documented with filler injection in those areas, but the effect was immediate. So you don't have to worry about that. Skin necrosis is also more prone to the forehead area and shows up as increasing pain and skin colors within 24-48 hours. That is also very rare, but best evaluated in person. It sounds most likely that you are either having a reaction (exceedingly rare) or possibly an infection. I would recommend you continue with close follow up your injector, and in the future only receive injections from core aesthetic physician injectors.I hope this helps and good luck.

Answer: Restylane side effect Even though the pictures are not helpful I don't think you are having a necrosis episode as these are very painful. It is probably irritation and overcorrection which will subside. it sounds like the nurse is taking good care of you and rest assured you will not go blind
