I had .5 of restylane put under my eyes two weeks ago and it didn't really fix the problem, circles still there, so yesterday my doc put .4 more under each eye. This time though i'm extrememly swollen, especially under the left as you can see in the photo. My doc pushed quite forcibly after the injection to smooth it out, etc this time. She is an experienced dermatolgoist. WIll this go away? She has prescirbed topicort for me, is that ok to take? Should I do warm or cold compress? help!
