10 Days Since Restalyne Under my Eye. I Still Have a Little Lump. How Can I Tell if It's Excess Filler or Bruising? (photo)

Question

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

I see the area of concern but without seeing you in person, it's very difficult to determine if it is product or the remnants of a bruise. I would follow up with your provider at least two weeks post treatment to see whether or not it just needs some massage to soften it, or if it needs further treatment.

Paul S. Nassif, MD · Answer

Swelling can last a few weeks in that area, and sometimes longer depending on the patient. An exam would be necessary to determine the nature of the issue. I would recommend waiting a few more days and following up with your provider, as they will be able to examine the area in person and provide you with advice. Excess filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if necessary. I hope this helps, and good luck to you.

Dear Andrea,

	
		I would wait a full two weeks, then follow up with your plastic surgeon
	
		At that time, an examination would be able to tell you what is filler and what is still swelling


	Best regards,

Waiting several more days followed by an inperson examination will provide the best answer to your question.

Thank you for your question. It is too early to determine if this swelling or excess filler. If this due to excess filler you can have it dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. In the meantime you can gently massage the lump to help smooth it out. I recommend following up with your injector after 2 weeks for an evaluation and possibly treatment. Best of Luck!
