I had Juvederm XC injected in my "tear trough" area for under eye hollows 9 days ago, and i still have a sever bruise under my left eye. It doesn't seem to have healed at all since I was injected. I have been using Arnica gel...now I am reading that this can turn into a hemosiderin stain and be permanent? I am terrified I ruined my face, and I'm so young. HELP! Does this look like it will turn into this? I did take aspirin 2 days prior to be injected (dumb me!) I do tend to bruise easy...

Will my Under Eye Bruise After Juvederm Become a Hemosiderin Stain?
It is a possibilty that any bruise could remain longer and even permanently due to hemosiderin pigment staining of the skin. Only time will tell.

Bruising after injections into facial skin.
Certainly, bruising is always a possibility after a needle is placed into the skin. Stopping aspirin, using ice pre and post procedure is helpful. Once the bruise occurs, little can contain it. Dissipation time depends on the amount of bleeding staining the skin. I have never seen melanin or hemosiderin pigmentation permanently in the facial region. Avoid suntanning this area.

Juvederm for tear trough
It is common to brouse after injections with filers or botox. Aspirin, blood thinners, ibuprofen, and alcoholic beverages can make it more likely for you to brouse. The only thing that works for bruising is time. At this point there is really not much you can do. Some reommend arnica and/or vit K cream. I don't think either works better than placebo but I know many swear by it. It doesn't hurt to try it.

Bruising after tear trough injection
Bruising is a common side effect from injections in the tear trough area. Fortunately they are temporary and fade over time. Arnica gel or tablets have no advantage over placebo. Some bruising can be more severe and take weeks to resolve. You need patience and a good cover up.
