Had Restylane injections for the tear troughs for the first time 5 days ago and I am wondering how long it takes for the swelling to go down and the area to smooth out to the cheekbones? The injected area is raised (puffed). I also have a lump under my right eye - there was quite a good bruise on that side - and I am wondering if that will disappear too and how long it will take...
Answer: Swelling after Restylane in tear troughs Typically the swelling will last less than a week, however 10-14 days is common as well. Without pressure, you can apply cold compresses under your eyes to help reduce the swelling. If you are noticing swelling after 14 days, I would schedule a follow-up appointment with your provider. I would set the same standard for the lump under your eye; seeing your provider if it is still there after 14 days.

Answer: Side Effects and Swelling from Restylane Under the Eye. Swelling usually goes down in a week, bruises take one to two weeks. If a lump, unevenness or contour problems seem to be lasting much longer than that, it is possible in most cases to smooth out lumps caused by too much or too superficial injection to be dissolved with hyaluronidase. This only works for hyaluronic acid fillers. Fillers such as Radiesse will not be dissolved and many months may be needed for a significant irregularity to diminish. Thin skin around the eyes makes doing fillers a delicate job. I do like the catheters that have blunt, tapered tips now, rather than needles. They are less likely to cause bruising.

Answer: Just had Restylane tear trough injections - how long does it take for the swelling to go down? Bruising and swelling is common when treating the tear troughs, I advise my patients to wait a full two weeks for the product to completely settle and bruising eliminate before seeing their final result

Answer: Swelling after Restylane Hello,Typically, it can take several days (possibly up to a few weeks) for all post-injection symptoms to dissipate. The under eye area is extremely sensitive, so sometimes symptoms can last longer than they would in other areas of the face. I would recommend you schedule a follow up visit with the office that provided the injections if you are still noticing after effects 10-14 days post treatment.Best of luck!
