Returned to injector, insists it's swelling. Still have overly heavy eyelid and compromised function.. Returning to injector tomorrow. Occuplastic specialist next week. Will this resolve as fillers degrade? What can possibly have happened? Skilled professional doctor, canular and experienced. However, I am now really concerned. I hope its not permanent?

It's difficult to tell from your picture, but it can take up to 2 weeks for final results after Restylane. I would wait a full two weeks before assessing your results and whether you need a touch-up. Fat grafting is an alternative.
Hi @Ski bunny! I would recommend waiting two weeks for the swelling and bruising to subside. If you are unhappy after two weeks, you can dissolve the filler with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Swelling and bruising is common after dermal fillers. The tear trough area is a very delicate area. I use a micro-cannula in my practice to decrease chances of bruising. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
