Yellow after Restylane injections under eyes? Are these bruises or could it be something else? (Photo)

May 8, 2018
Asked By:Elisacan in San Francisco, CA

They appeared under both eyes about 4 days after injection. Please note the area is still a bit swollen/puffy but I did not suffer major bruising otherwise, save a bit of blue/brown you might be able to detect in one photo. I woke up this morning and noticed this yellow coloration. Also, please know that I am wearing some makeup in these photos although you can still see the yellow. Thank you for your insight!
