$825
I always over draw my lips, and have always had very hollow eyes. My cheekbones are high, so the discrepancy between my cheekbone and under eye area was even more exaggerated. I had half a syringe of Restalyne injected into my tear troughs (1/4 syringe under each eye) and a full syringe injected into my lips. I LOVE the lips, they're amazing. Just a little bumpy which I know will subside soon. BUT I wasn't prepared for the swelling under my eyes for this long. You can see little crescent/half moon ridges under each eye where the product was injected. It looks like really big bags under each eye. I thought this would last a day or two, but it's been 3 days now and the look hasn't improved much. I am just now learning that swelling from Restylane under the eyes can last up to 2 weeks! I was not fully aware of this, and I wish I would have cleared my schedule out a bit more. I will keep updating as the days go on. I'm sure I'll like the result in the end.

Going back in
It's officially been a long 5 days, and my under eyes have not smoothed out. I texted my extremely sweet and accommodating injector about the half-moon ridges in my tear trough area, and she suggested I come in sometime next week to have the area massaged so that it will smooth out. I really hope it works, and I also hope the puffiness is associated with swelling, and not over-injection of the product. I have been taking arnica pills all week, along with the week before the procedure. Last night I also got arnica cream which I have been using religiously. Crossing my fingers!

I had the same problem when I was injected with Restalyne in the tear troughs. Pulling for you to have awesome results, you aren't as bruised or swilled as I was, and in my case I was never happy with the results and much prefer Juvederm in the undereye via a cannula since there is virtually no swelling or bruising, but I have a feeling you're going to look amazing when it's settled and hope you have a good experience-- I have the same high cheekbone/ hollow eye thing so I know how nice it feels to have it corrected :)

I feel that restalyne really needs to be massaged and flattened or can be hard itself. I plan to fill in my tear troughs soon and am hoping for sculptra and a fanning injection instead. I had sculptra in my cheek areas and I had to massage 3x a day and it turned out wonderful . Luckily I read that you can melt the restalyne if too bumpy. I had restalyne to try and get of marrionette lines almost a month ago and it made it worse and I see the tubular shaped injection on top of my lines. I will talk to my doctor about this next week. It seems restalyne is better for lips?

About to go in again!
Just wanted to add a quick before picture before I head to the office again. I will post another picture after my under eye area has been massaged to see if there is any difference
