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: 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.
