About 4 weeks ago, I had Restylane injected in the trough of my eyes. Later on, I developed lumps on the area, with bluish-tinge under my eyes. Will I return to how I looked like before the injections if I have the Restylane dissolved?
Answer: It will take months to resolve Dogeez, Restylane can last for months. If your doctor is experienced in injecting hylauronidase, it may be useful to dissolve the hylauronic acid in the Restylane. However, whenever you have injections around the eyes, you have to be very, very careful. This tissue is very thin and very unforgiving.

Answer: Bluish Tint under Eye after Restylane? If the bluish tint under the eye is caused by superficial injections (The Tyndall effect caused by injecting too close to the surface) then this will most likely go away as the product degrades normally over a 6-9 month period. Alternatively, ask your practitioner about Hyaluronidase injections. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that is used to dissolve the Restylane and may be able to solve your problem much more quickly. The lumps can also be resolved fairly immediately with Hyaluronidase. If the bluish tint is related to bruising, then we would look for a local practitioner who uses Pulsed dye lasers as these can be used to resolve bruising in less than 72 hours.

Answer: Restylane Will Last Over 6 Months if No Action is Taken I am sorry to learn of the difficulty that you are experiencing. Perlane, Juvederm, Restylane or Elevess are all Hyaluronic Acids (HA). The beauty of them is that they are soft and work well to fill in lines and wrinkles around the face. Side effects from these fillers and dissatisfaction is rare. When these occasions do occur the wonderful thing about this group of fillers is that we can offer Wydase or Hyaluronidase to reduce or dissolve them. As an Ocular Plastic surgeon, in the suburbs of Detroit, I utlize Wydase all of the time as part of my freezing solution for eyelid surgery. Side effects from this substance are rare with the most common being an allergic reaction ( which I personally have never encountered with over 3000 procedures, Knock wood:)) You should speak to your Cosmetic Surgeon about using Hyaluronidase to hasten the effect of the filler.

Answer: Only If You Were Normal to Start With Hi Dog, Sorry to hear about your complication with under the eye lid filler. The bluish tint is either caused from the Tindall Effect, where the filler is too superficial, or from some residual bruising. In either case, time is the best antidote. Once the Restylane that was placed under your eyes completely dissolves, your eye lid area should return to the way it was before. Unfortunately it takes a while for the Restylane to disappear from this area. Some physicians inject hyaluronidase to help dissolve the excess product, but as you have probably read here on RealSelf, there have been patients who have had continued problems. If it is not too bad, then it is probably best to leave it alone and be patient. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

Answer: Restylane may be too superficial The skin below the eyes is very thin and injections in this area need to be very deep right along the bone. After the Resylane resorbs you should go back to normal. In the mean time you can massage the are to get the product to disperse a little quicker. This could take a while in the range of several months to occur.
