Tiny Bumps From Restylane Under Eyes

Question

I had restylane under my eyes and along the upper part of my cheek near the cheek bone, today, 7 hours ago. I have a bruise, and some swelling, that's not my concern. I've gotten resty before and am used to that. I'm worried about the patch of red spots, almost looking like little injection marks or even milia under my eyes and spreading to my temples. I've never had this from resty before and I'm usually fine a few hours after treatment. But these are ugly and still here:( Should I be worried?

If the bumps you have are not itching and not swollen, then I doubt you have an allergic reaction. Did your doctor say that all of these were the injection sites? Sometimes the injection sites are more obvious especially if you had Motrin, Advil, Ibuprofen, Alleve or Aspirin a couple of days or more before surgery. See your doctor for an evaluation.

Hi SA.  What you are describing does not sound like a typical side effect of Restylane.  The description of the problem combined with the fact that it has moved to the temples is very unusual.

	Give a call to your injector's office and request to be seen.  The reaction needs to be looked at to give you a better idea of what's happening.

Michael A. Persky, MD · Answer

Hi SA,

	It is not normal for the redness of injection site Restylane under the eyes to spread to the temple area.  It is possible that you are having a reaction to something.

	 You should call your injecting physician immediately.  Most likely it will resolve, but you should make sure that you are evaluated.  Hope all goes well.  Good luck and be well.

Dear SallyAnne:

	Small red raised areas at the injection sites from Restylane (Juvederm, Perlane, Radiesse ... even Botox) are from the needle, and normally resolves overnight. These areas also do not spread. I would recommend calling your doctor this morning and asking them your question. The most accurate response will come from a quick check in the office.

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to give you advice without examining you in person. However, Restylane can feel a bit swollen and lumpy after injection, but this usually resolves within 1-2 weeks after injection. It is not common to be developing new lumps 2 weeks after injection. I recommend following up with your injector for evaluation and treatment. Best of Luck!
