Recovery Time from Swelling and Bruising from Juvederm or Restylane?

July 23, 2009
Asked By:Missmel08 in Herndon

I'm looking to do either Juvederm or Restylane injections for my under-eye bags to smooth out the hollows and puffiness.How long should I "hibernate" due to swelling and bruising? Is it a couple days or a week that you look beat up? Also, does Botox work for crow's feet or is it too risky of freezing your smile lines?
