Can I have a back massage 24 hours after my first restylane injections under my eyes?

mmkeeDec 17, 2014
Before I decided to get restylane injections under my eyes I had an acupuncture / chiropractic appointment scheduled for the next day. Today I'm slightly sore around the injections and swollen. I dont want the pressure from my face being down on the massage table to create any problems. Is this okay?

Thank you for your question. If you are experiencing dry eyes attempt to cure with natural tears for the first few weeks while your eyes are adjusting to the fillers. After the 2 weeks if your eyes remain dry, schedule an appointment with your injector to be assessed in person. Best,
