Crepey Skin and Bruising After Juvederm
24 hours after Juvederm injections, the left eye looks great. The right eye is bruised around the injection sites. In that area, the skin looks crepey as well. Is this from not enough filler? Or from a combination of swelling and bruising? What should I be doing at this point? Cold or hot compresses? I am also using Vitamin K lotion to reduce the bruising.

Most likely bruising from the injections
You should still continue with ice for the next one to two days to help with the swelling and the bruising. After that, you can use a warm compress if you like but do not have to do so. Lotions are partially beneficial, but Arnica capsules are much better in decreasing bruising. Remember to talk to your doctor's office and follow their routine post procedure instructions, as these are all just suggestions from various providers. Good luck.

Crepes Marie?
Marie Lyn,
The crepeyness is most likely due to the swelling and bruising that you are experiencing. For the first 24-48 hours you can apply cold compresses. After that, if you still have bruising, you may apply warm compresses. Vitamin K cream might be helpful, but Arnica gel or cream would be better for the bruising. At any rate, the swelling and bruising will subside eventually over the next week. Good luck!
