Posted under Restylane q&a

Will the small, dark gray dot on my upper cheek go away from the cannula insertion after Restylane two weeks ago?

I had under-eye Restylane two weeks ago. The first few days after the procedure, the right side was redder and swollen. About a week after the procedure, I noticed a small, dark gray dot exactly at the point at which the cannula entered my skin on my upper right cheek. It looks like a pencil stab. Is this a really small bruise? Is it normal, and can I expect it to go away? It's looked the same over the past several days, and I'm concerned. I'm on vacation and cannot visit my doctor right now.
