Permanent Bruising from Restylane?

Asked By:gliding phoenix in los angeles

I had Restylane injections a week ago for my laugh lines. Two days later, I saw a greenish patch (like bruises) on my lower right cheek next to the laugh line. It has been almost a week now and the bruise is still there and doesn't look like it is getting any better. The color turn more brownish and the bruise area is not sore to the touch at all. Is this a permanent bruise or hyperpigmentation due to the injections? I heard Restylane injections can caused permanent staining or bruising if not injected right. Is that true?
