Is this normal bruising 2 days after Juvederm injection?

By phdmom on 17 Apr 2010

I had Juvederm injections into my tear troughs 2 days ago and I'm wondering if the bruise I am seeing is normal, or if its something more serious, like a Hematoma or something. The doctor warned me that I would bruise so I can't say I'm suprised to have bruising, but I thought my bruise would look different. I did have local anesthesia injections on each side, and I'm wondering if the troubled area is from the injection. Any ideas? I am excited because both hollow areas under my eye already looke MUCH improved compared to my before pics!

I am a big bruiser and did bruise badly yhe one time I did not drink pineapple smoothies every day for 3-5 days prior to the injection. It must be fresh pineapple and you must eat the core as that has all the bromelin. Bromelin is a very powerful anti-iflamatory agent that works great when you have any kind of surgery, injections or the like. The bromelin supplements will not do the trick....it is best to eat the fresh pineapple.
