Uneven Swelling After Restylane in Tear Trough

March 7, 2010
Asked By:JordanDallas in 75219

I had .4cc of Restylane injected underneath my muscles, and directly on top of the bone in my tear troughs yesterday. On the way to get it done, I was having some allergic irritation in one eye (from my mom's dogs) and it was itchy, watery, red, and slightly swollen. Well, that eye swelled up bad, while the other didn't! So now, I have one PERFECT looking, and one swollen misshapen eye! My question is, is this just swelling, and if so, how long should I wait for it to go down? Or, was the product injected too superficially here?
