Swelling After Restylane Injection? (photo)

Hi @tazo123! Swelling and bruising is common after dermal fillers. Allow two weeks for the product to settle in and if the lump is still present you can dissolve the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

It is very common and expected to have swelling post-filler injection(s). I would wait minimally 7-10 days before following up with your provider and then re-assess to determine whether or not you need massage or manipulation of the product.

While it is common to have swelling after a dermal filler treatment under the eyes, the level of swelling is concerning. Consult with your injector as soon as possible to ensure that you are progressing as expected.

Swelling After Restylane Injection Under the Eyes is not uncommon. However, your pictures show a greater degree of swelling than is typically seen after restylane injection in this area. More than having injected an excessive amount of restylane in this area, my concern is the level of bruising that you have, as well as possibly having an early localized infection. Please consult your doctor for proper evaluation and treatment of this event. 

You do have soft tissue swelling, more on the left side, and some bruising. It is maybe a little more then one would usually expect after this procedure; however, this is not uncommon and not really surprising, especially that this is your second manipulation of this sensitive area in two weeks. I don't think that this is an excess of Restylane - the fullness definitely looks more than 0.4cc. Cold compressed, head elevation during sleep, and some time should correct all this. If not, you will always have an option of injecting some Hyaluronidase later on.
