Tear trough fillers Restylane, how long does bruising and swelling usually last?

Bruising and swelling are common when injecting fillers into the tear troughs. How long it lasts can vary from patient to patient and based on the technique used. In some cases it can last up to 2 weeks. I use microcannulas which significantly decreases the risk and severity of bruising and swelling. Cold compresses for the first 48 hours or Arnica can help for some people. Best of luck.

Hi @kathhayes! Swelling can take up to two weeks to subside. If you are unhappy with the results, you can dissolve the filler with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Thank you for your question.Bruising and swelling are very common after injections. To minimize these try applying ice packs, avoid using NSAIDS- (ibuprofen,aspirin ,etc.) Arnica is also very helping in reducing  sweeling and bruising.Hope this helps!
