I have intermittent puffiness and pain when applying pressure at the injection sites of Restylane that was inherited months ago?

Question

I'm male and always had sinus issues because of allergies. I only have that sudden onset of swelling which changes from eye to eye, never both at the same time. Also changes from upper cheek to chee. Hurts when I apply pressure on filler. Feel the discomfort when I smile or wink. No redness which rules out biofilm or infection. received juvederm in my nasolabial folds and those never hurt. Occurs once a week usually then is completely resolved the next day. Plastic surgeon thinks it's allergies.

Thank you for your question. Swelling can appear right after your treatment or the day afterward, and it sounds like that’s what you’re probably going through right now. The swelling will gradually go away, and you’ll most likely regain the subtle, satisfying improvement you had right after your treatment. Just follow your injector’s care instructions to help with the swelling. For example, you may want to avoid vigorous physical exercise to help ease swelling. Good luck!
