Dry eyes after Restylane treatment in under-eye trough?

February 15, 2016
Asked By:delta32thereyouhaveit in Washington, District of Columbia

I have extreme dry eye owing and Hashimotos disease. I consulted three plastic surgeons who said restylane would not exacerbate my dry eye. When first performed I swelled pretty badly but experienced no change in my dry eye. Two days after my procedure my eyes are still swollen and slightly bruised and so painfully dry I am incapacitated. I have always been hyper allergic (one reason I got restylane was I can't wear make-up near my eyes and heard allergies from it were rare). Now I am really scared.
