Ridge under eye after Restylane in tear troughs. Is this normal? Is it due to the technique? (Photo)

Asked By:Allymac4 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

I received restylane injections under the eyes to the tear troughs. I bruised immediately. And under one eye, it was apparent that I had a swollen ridge right away. However, a week later, it is still as apparent as the first day (only in one eye). I would like to know if this is normal, or if this is due to the technique. Only half a syringe was split between both eyes, so I doubt too much product was used. Please advise. Thank you.
