Asked By:jenv123 in Los Angeles, California

I had Restalyne placed around my eye 5 days ago and have a big yellow patch along the side of my eye. 7 days before I had Hyaluronidase injected in that area to remove older Juvederm filler that was there. Can Hylauraonidase stain the skin or is the Restaylne too close to the surface of the skin? It was placed with a cannula and previously I have had it placed deeper with a needle. It does not look particularly swollen just very discolored.
