Fifteen years ago I had a decompression. Surgery was done w/ incisions in my gums and I lost feeling in my 4 front upper teeth. On the upside, they looked perfect. Then after I got pregnant, My antibodies came back and I gained 50 lbs. When I got back to "normal", my eye had sunken in the orbit about 4 mm. My right eye protruded over 30 mm so much of the orbital floor was removed and scar tissue on my CT scan has fallen Into the sinus. . I have read about restylane, or is implant necessary?

Answer: Orbital floor implant after previous decompression to treat sunken eye
Thank you for asking your question. Some patients say there is less bruising and swelling if they apply arnica cream to the skin following injection of Restylane. If you feels discomfort following your treatment, apply cold compresses. This should help with swelling and make you feel better.Good...
Hi @matthowes. I recommend dissolving the product with Hyaluronidase. The Tyndall effect occurs when the filler is placed too superficially. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
