Asked By:missc1 in United Kingdom, GB

Had restylane injected into tear troughs 8 days ago. Ridges near cheekbones disorting shape & White lines along my tear trough. Seen Doc since, said ridges is swelling. He suggested Hyaluronidase injection yesterday in both sides to reduce swelling. But booked back in Friday to re-assess the swelling. He said white line is where skin in the tear trough was flat/hollow & has now been lifted, new/unexposed layers of epidermis that are now visible, discolouration could take up to 2 months to even.
