Track marks from Restylane. Will these fade?

S614Jul 20, 2017

Hi @PatientD! Swelling and bruising is expected after tear trough fillers. I recommend sleeping elevated and icing. If you are unhappy with the results after two weeks, I recommend dissolving the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
