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.
Answer: Swelling and bruising is a common side effect of under eye injections. Swelling and bruising is a common side effect of under eye injections. Swelling can last approx. 2 weeks. If you can feel the product when touching your under eye, return to the injector and have them massage the area. If at 2 weeks your problem persists, you may want to return and have it dissolved. All the Best.

Answer: Tear Trough Hi @Allymac4! The tear trough area is very delicate. It appears that the filler was placed too superficially. I recommend dissolving the filler with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Ridge Under Eye It looks like you have swelling from the filler and some is too superficially placed. I would suggest getting a second opinion and having hyaluronidase injected to remove the filler and swelling. Afterwards, another injector with more experience would be best. Dr. Emer.
