Non-surgical rhinoplasty swelling- 48 hours after restylane. Is this normal? (photo)

Question

Hi, 48 hours ago I had a non surgical nose job at a respectable practise who has significant experience. The results were instantly desirable however this morning I have woken up with a very swollen nose bridge and eyes. I understand swelling can be normal but I'm worried this is how it will look once settled. My doctor did advise me that she hit a blood vessel and there would be bruising. I would very much appreciate any advice you can offer me. Thank you.

Swelling and bruising are normal side effects of injections and can last approx 2 weeks. Ensure you are sleeping with your head slightly elevated and apply cold compresses for 10 mins several times a day. If this does not subside follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. Best.

Swelling in the nose is very common when fillers are done there. And swelling is almost always uneven and asymmetrical. If you have concerns I'd suggest seeing your injector. But for now, ice a bit, and keep your hands away from it. Don't press on it because that area is very delicate and thin and you can move the filler around making things much, much, much worse.
