4 weeks ago I received injections for the hollows of my cheeks. The Dr. had done my upper bleph 6 mos before w/little improvement so also got botox to pull up brows. Asst got numbing cream in left eye which turned blood red. Had asked Dr for Juvaderm XL. Said no, Belatero would be better w/restylane. Bruising & swelling developed under left eye & cheek. Advised to ice it. 2 weeks later got hyaluronic acid inject. Bruised & bag of fluid under eye. 3 weeks later he prescribed prednisone/ more ice.
