Is it normal to have bumps and bruising under eyes after having Belotero injected? (photos)

I am 40 years old and a runner so I decided to have a filler injected under my eyes. I chose belotero, but today I look awful and I have lumps under one eye and a bruise under the other one. Why did this occur and is it normal? How do I get rid of this? I look even older now so I'm really worried. Please help.

Honestly, it probably won't have any effect on your filler placement or results. You may possibly swell a little more but I would be worried. Even though I don't recommend it, plenty of patients smoke weed after surgery and I haven't seen any problems so far.

There have not been any head to head studies that I am aware of comparing the longevity of Belotero versus Restylane in the tear troughs.  After hundreds of tear trough injections with both Restylane and Belotero over the last several years, I believe anecdotally that Belotero does not last...

Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination with...
