Your left under-eye appears bruised. This is a common risk, when a cannula is not used in this area, and should resolve within a week. Either way, follow up with your doctor to re-assess.Good luck!
This is most likely due to swelling and bruising which is typical after tear trough injections. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.I hope this helps!
I would give it two weeks and if it doesnt settle down then i would consider reversal with hyaluronidase. If it worsens over the next few weeks see your physician to determine if this is just swelling or an inflammatory reaction. Best, Dr. Emer.
I doubt this is over corrected and we can’t assess for this until 2 or 3 weeks have passed. I would suggest this is a combination of swelling and bruising. In my experience, injections here with a microcanula leads to less complications. Best wishes. Dr. Aldo
Thank you for your question. From your photo, it appears your left eye is bruised. This is common with hyaluronic acid fillers, especially in the tear trough area as the skin is very thin and this should resolve in 1-2 weeks.

Thanks for your question and sorry that you are having this concern following your Restylane injections.

If it does not, I would return to your injector and let them evaluate the situation. And we always recommend that you have these injections performed in the offices of board certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons – the experts in these injections.
I agree that this looks primarily like bruising. Gentle application of ice packs periodically, as well as daily use of Arnica 1x cream, can need helpful. If your physician has a pulsed dye laser, they may be able to able to resolve this bruising a bit faster.
Thank you for your question. The use of fillers in the tear trough area depends on many factors and these include the cause of the problem, size of the fat pad and the amount of loose skin. However, if you have a herniated fat pad filler will only mask it for a short period of time. I recommend...
Thank you for your question. If Restylane is the filler you used and made you happy with the results, I would not recommend switching. I recommend following up with your injector every 4-6 months for an evaluation and possible touch-ups. Best of Luck!
