Asked By:anla90 in Los Angeles, CA

I has restylane injected in my tear troughs 17 days ago. I har minimal swelling and brusing and it looked great at first (my other eye looks good). However, after a couple of days I noticed that I had a bump of so sort under my left eye. I went back and was told I should wait until my follow-up session which is two days from now. The bump is not as visible as before, however in certain lights I can see the filler. It looks white and makes the area appear bumpy and uneven. It has no blue tint.
