Hello, I had Restylane injected in my upper eyelids in May of 2011, however it still seems that there is a small amount of "bumpage" in the areas it was injected, and when I close my eyes the skin is a bit swollen and not thin as it was before. Shouldn't the restylane have dissolved by now? Thanks

Answer: Longer lasting in eyelid area
Restylane in the eyelid area (usually for the lower eyelid) can last for many months. Hopefully you enjoyed the results initially. It will absorb eventually but sometimes a very careful injection of Hyaluronidase (Vitrase) can be performed to help dissolve the product quicker.

Answer: How long does Restylane last?
Restylane usually lasts about a year in the eyelid area but can last for years. In fact, even when the Restylane goes away, there is tissue remodeling that may last long-term. In regards to the bumps on your eyelids, it may or may not be Restylane. See an eyelid specialist (oculoplastic surgeon).
