Restylane in Tear Trough Caused Dark Shadow? (photo)

April 13, 2013
Asked By:Lilly4304

I had restylane in tear trough 11 days ago. I had pretty bad bruising and swelling in the left eye. Both have subsided, but now I have a dark shadow under that eye and you can see a lump. The darkness was not there before. I look worse and more tired then I did prior to the injections. I went to a plastic surgeon who I totally trust. I'm sure he is aware of best and latest techniques. Please let me know if this will subside soon. Is there anything I can do? I'm more concerned with the darkness.
