What to Do About Restylane Bruising?
I had Restylane injected under my eyes, just above my cheeks. I developed severe bruising that lasted for almost 6 weeks. It has been 6 months since the procedure, and I still have what looks like lingering bruises where the Restylane was injected. Also, the doctor who did this over-filled the right side and you can clearly still see the filler bulging out in a line under my eye where he injected it. Will the bruising and bulging go away? What can I do about it? Do I need to have other treatments? I don't want to have any injections to dissolve it at this point because of the bruising.
Time is your friend
Even though most of the injectable fillers show significant resorption at 6 months some patients can experience lasting effects beyond that. Try gentle massage and give it another 3 months. The bruising should resolve within this period of time. You are right to not consider additional treatments at this time. I hope this helps.
Restylane is a family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers produced by Galderma using NASHA technology. The product line includes Restylane-L for lips and facial wrinkles, Lyft for cheeks and hands, Refyne and Defyne for nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and Kysse for lip augmentation. Each formulation has specific gel properties optimized for different tissue depths and treatment areas.
Patient safety protocols, including operating in accredited facilities with board-certified anesthesiologists, significantly reduce surgical risk.
