I had deep ridges that extended from my inner eye to my cheek. Unfortunately they are hereditary and asymmetrical.
I put off my appointment a couple times because I was scared of the recovery with bruises and swelling.
However, i had hardly any.
I was a fanatic with several doses of arnica per day for 1 week prior. I took several doses of bromelian and quercitin for 3 days prior and arnica following the procedure. Also, I ate several servings of pineapple before and after the procedure. That combined with a very gentle doctor resulted in one barely noticeable bruise. That is ALL!

Wow your pics tell it all- you look great!
Do you remember how much resty you had injected- like 1 vial?

He used less than one syringe. He saved a bit for touch up but we did not use it

2 weeks later and I am still very pleased. I believe I might need a touch more at my follow up visit. He saved some in the syringe. I am going back for voluma in my cheeks also. I will post a review of the final results.

You look great . I also had my eyes done yesterday. Applied ice every hour and applied Arnica oil as there was a slight bruise under my left eye. This morning I woke up and bruise almost gone, no extra puffiness and am thrilled. I will keep using Arnica. One vial used, my doctor kept a bit for follow up in 2 weeks if needed. I'm in Cape Town, South Africa and went to Dr Dominique at Skin Renewal Constantia. Highly recommend them.

Your eyes came out perfect! You look great. I look forward to seeing your cheeks as I plan to have both of those areas done as well.
