Please help! I had restylane injected under my eyes 5 days ago by an experienced cosmetic MD. The hollows I had before now look like ugly bags, and I am so depressed and remorseful that I did anything. Will the lumpiness and swelling subside in another week? Will a little hyaluronidase help or can the restylane be extracted? Should I massage it in or let my face rest for another week?

Answer: Swelling and lumpiness after Restylane Swelling is normal and can be asymmetric. You can expect swelling to last for one to two weeks, depending on the area treated and how your body reacts to the treatment. Keep your head elevated to help ease swelling, particularly when sleeping. You can use a few pillows to prop your head up.If it doesn't improve after a week or so, please see your injector for an assessment. Do not massage the area in the meantime.

Answer: Tear Trough Injections
It is difficult to gauge with your photo if I am seeing misplaced product or swelling. I encourage you to follow up with your injector to determine the course of action. The product can be dissolved if necessary using Vitrase. It is important that you don't manipulate the area too much, as that can increase your swelling as well.
