It is very common to experience bruising and mild tenderness after Restylane. For patients who tend to bruise easily, I recommend Arnica tablets and avoiding blood thinners, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, Vitamin E and alcohol (the day before as well as the day you have fillers). The bruising can last a week and may be covered with make-up. If you continue to have pain or any increase in pain, I recommend you follow-up with your doctor.
Thanks for your question. Swelling and bruising can occur with injections of any product in the area. Most bruising and swelling improves without issues. An intravascular injection (in the vessel) could lead to more problems. It is difficult to tell what is going on with your photo. I recommend that you contact your injector and be seen by a physician that is knowledgable about injections very soon. Best of luck.
It is difficult to say whether this is normal or not because the photo is not too clear. The one thing to worry most about is an intra-arterial injection which can cause sloth and severe pain. If concerned, contact your surgeon.
If it is simply bruising, that's ok. If it is vascular occlusion, it's not. I can't tell. Please see your doc and read the link that describes vascular occlusion.

Thank you for your question. Ultherapy is a great non-invasive procedure that has no downtime, to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the décolletage. Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to tighten and firm the skin, which penetrates deep into the skin to promote collagen ...
Thank you for your question. It is important to remember everybody is different. Everyone will have different results and Restylane may last longer for others. Restylane can last anywhere from 6-12 months. The length of Restylane lasting depends on a couple factors like where it is placed and...
Bruising after filler injection to lips is common. It can appear to get worse if the patient is on blood thinners/takes asprin/ takes vitamin E/ drinks red wine/ takes ginkgo. Ice immediately after injection helps. Taking suppliments containing arnika help as well. If it continues to worsen,...
Microneedling does not affect the effect of filler. The procedures should work well together, although they should be spaced at least a few days apart. For stubborn or deep nasolabial folds I would suggest a filler with larger molecules such as Perlane, Voluma, Radiesse or perhaps Juvederm Plus....
