Restalyne and Boxing. What Would Happen if I Got Hit On Injection Site?

MC
Male in CaliforniaJul 15, 2012

I box spar often and considering getting fillers in the under eye area. If I were to get hit in the eye area, what would happen to the fillers? Would it get infected, clump up, or would it be likely that the tyndall effect can occur? How long should I wait before I can spar? Thank you kindly.

If Restylane was injected to the tear trough area only, it's hard to imagine that you would have the type of reaction you are explaining, in your forehead. It's normal to have some bruising and/or swelling around the area or areas injected post treatment, peaking around day 3.

Monocheek is a cheek contour that blends right into the lower eyelid lashes.  Not so pretty.  You are simply too full in the inner corner at the top of the cheek. This is a very common situation.  Please do not attempt to wait this situation out.  I have seen these persisting...

However, what you are describing is not Restylane traveling to a different part of the face but simply settling in the same part of the face.  In particular the nasolabial fold treatment, especially at the top were it goes to the base of the nose, is under tension.   Filler here can...

Fillers placed under the eyes are very likely to bruise. bruises last anywhere from 7-14 days. and can be longer in some cases. if its not gone in 2 weeks my advice would be to follow up with your doctor and see if it needs to be dissolved.

My average patient gets 2 ml of Restylane.  The most I have ever injected into someone's face at one time is 7 ml.  However, I do have many patients who have the equivalent of 10 ml of filler in their face and probably would benefit from more.  The important thing is to find the...
