Is two syringes too much?

January 18, 2015
Asked By:teresa71 in Westminster, CA

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?
