I had Restylane put unto my cheeks two weeks ago now the right cheek is swollen under the eye and hurts two weeks later, what shall I do? I am going to call harley street today.
Answer: Up to 5 days in rare cases... It’s not unusual for patients to experience swelling immediately following Restylane injections. In some cases, swelling may even be asymmetric. In most cases, this swelling has resolved in 24 hours, but may persist for up to 3 to 5 days in rare cases.Swelling following treatment with Restylane can be a major source of anxiety for cosmetic surgery patients. It’s important to remember that in most cases swelling resolves with the passage of time and the majority of patients are ultimately happy with their result.A swollen cheek with significant pain two weeks following Restylane injection is definitely abnormal and should be evaluated immediately. This might represent a hematoma, seroma, or infection. Under these circumstances drainage or antibiotics may be necessary. If you have this type of problem following Restylane injections, it’s important to contact your physician as soon as possible. Your physician should be able to formulate a plan that addresses your concerns.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Swelling after Restylane Every patient heals and swells differently. But on average most patients experience swelling and some tenderness for 5 - 10 days. So now that it has been 2 weeks since your injections, I recommend you go in and see your doctor to make sure everything is ok. At this point the swelling should have gone down completely and the area around the injections should not still hurt. Good luck!

Answer: Swelling after Restylane Thank you for your question. I have noticed that Restylane and Restylane Silk tend to cause more swelling rather than other fillers. This is nothing that is super uncommon. Swelling may last up to a week. However, if you are concerned and still experiencing discomfort contact your doctor. Best of luck!Dhaval M.

Answer: Treating Under Eye Bruising after Injections In the future, the best way to minimize bruising - especially for sensitive areas like lips or under the eyes, is to avoid medications such as aspirin, Ibuprofen ( Motrin and Advil) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as Alleve or Naprosyn that might be taken for sports injuries . Other culprits of bleeding and bruising tendencies are green tea, flax seed oil, Omega -3s and alcohol or caffeine intake the day before your treatment! Arnica oral tablets are an easy remedy to reduce the degree and length of time of bruising and can be taken 3 -5 days following the treatment.#Restylanebruising #avoidbruising #treatmentsforbruising

Answer: About two weeks At two weeks after your treatment, you should expect most of the swelling to have resolved itself by now. I would recommend you visit your injector to have this looked at. You shouldn’t feel as much pain and this could be a complication.
