Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation from Restylane and Hyaluronidase injections? (Photo)

May 19, 2016
Asked By:urlm in New York, New York, USA

Restylane injection in tear throughs only made matters worse and caused discolouration. I had Hyaluronidase injected to dissolve the Restylane, but now the discolouration seems even worse and is unchanged after 2 months. Dr says Restylane is gone, but he's been incompetent, and I even had my money refunded because of that. When he did the injections he used about 5-6 injection sites along tear through on each side. It's dark and gets easily red, worse on one eye than the other. Please help!
