Last October I had 2mL of Restylane injected in my nasolabial folds and aroun my cheek and chin. In June of this year I noticed that this area had a dark gray/bluish ashy discoloration. I am now feeling facial discomfort. My Dr. is reputable and highly regarded as one of the best in this area. She informed that she believes my over the counter multiple vitamin is causing the discoloration and that I should stop taking it. I am not on any other medication.

Answer: Can Restylane cause skin discoloration? Without seeing photos or you in person, it sounds as though you are describing the Tyndall Effect. The Tyndall effect occurs when light strikes filler that is too

Answer: Skin discoloration after Restylane Fillers help restore volume and provide a youthful appearance without plastic surgery. Fillers do, however, have some potential side effects or risks.It's unlikely that any of your filler is remaining after almost a year from treatment. Restylane typically is gone after several months. However, a superficial placement of filler can create a bluish appearance called the "tyndall" effect. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons can usually determine the cause of skin discoloration after facial fillers. Speak with your doctor if skin appearance doesn't improve. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can he/she help determine appropriate options for you.Best,Dr. Chaboki
