I am trying to take pictures every day at the same time so I can keep track of my progress. There is no swelling anymore and the bruise is almost all green. I can live with that. The office called me earlier today to see if I could change my appointment from next week to tomorrow so I will have a follow up in the morning. I would get a little more but the bruising has kept me in the house all week...I just don't want to do that again. When I am at the office tomorrow I'll take another picture so it's the same exact lighting.

Restylane in tear troughs- 72 and 96 hours after

So the swelling is finally starting to subside and the bruises are turning from blue and purple to green and yellow. If I press on the swelling it feels tender and sore but I wouldn't say it's painful. There used to be palpable ridges where the filler was placed but 4 days after the injections it's all smoothing out. It's still hard to tell if it made any difference though.

The swelling has not gone down at all. I'm scared because there has been no improvement...what if this is the end result? It did not look like this right after the injections. Is it supposed to swell once inside the body? The bruise is expected and I keep taking the Sinecch which I don't think is helping.

Do you use ice in addition to the Sinecch?

I was icing the first couple days off and on with a gel pack. The ice didn't seem to be making a difference but I kept it up just in case there was a difference on a microscopic level.

Hi. How are your eyes looking now? I had my tear troughs filled on the 26th and am experiencing some swelling and bruising too. My left eye is puffier than my right eye and I'm hoping that it's still just the swelling and not over fill. Even though they tell you it takes a couple weeks or more to see the final results, it's so hard not to worry!

They're much better today. The swelling is finally starting to go away, though it's still definitely swollen. My bruises are turning green and yellow so they're healing too. I don't think it's overfill since the plastic surgeon said I could actually use more (we decided to be conservative and stick with 1cc total). Also, it is tender if I press a little on the puffy parts, even though my under eyes are not painful in general. I think I am just someone who bruises and swells.
