How long will post Nd:yag swelling last? (Photo)

October 29, 2016
Asked By:krisrgirl in Salt Lake City, UT

I had an Nd:yag treatment around my eyes 4 days ago. I had veins treated under and around my eyes. The first day I had very little swelling. Since then I have been extremely swollen, especially in the a.m. Even across the bridge of my nose and down my cheeks.Is this normal and how long can I expect to be this swollen? Thanks
