I had deep tear troughs. When I met with my Doctor yesterday, she told that I needed two syringes of Restylane, since they were so deep. After the injection, she said she hit a vien. Now, under my eyes and my cheeks are completely swollen, and it looks like I had cheek implants. Now, I'm concerned that she used too much or that maybe she injected my cheeks. My cheeks were fine. My face looks horrible. I look like a completely different person. Is two syringes too much?

Answer: Two syringes of Restylane for tear troughs While two syringes of Restylane for the tear troughs may be more than that needed in most people, it would not be out of the question. Different people need different amounts to give the best results. At this point, you will need to wait more time for your swelling to resolve before you can judge the final results. I would wait at least two weeks and if you still are concerned you should return to the physician who treated you to be evaluated.

Answer: Most of us would use as little filler as needed to start Thanks for your question and sorry that you are having problems after your Restylane injections. If you have any concerns following the injections, we recommend that you connect with your provider, share your concerns, and see them if necessary. While each person is different when it comes to injecting the tear trough areas as to how much filler is needed, most of us would usually use as little filler as needed in this area to start, usually in the half of a syringe per area, but sometimes more is needed. Swelling after the procedure is not uncommon, and if a vein was hit during the procedure, more bruising may be possible. You should always consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon as we are the true experts in the use of these products and understand the underlying anatomy the best and therefore use the amount of filler that is only needed in each area. If there is too much filler causing the filler, then hyaluronidase will help reverse this. Contact your provider and see what is going on and take care of the concern. And now there is a new filler, called Restylane Silk, which may be perfect in this area moving forward. It is technique dependent and the injector needs to be trained in its proper use but can give great results in this area.
