Hello, I recently received Juvederm injections at the superficial layer to fill in divot my cheeks and now i have little lumps and blue/dark discoloration in the area where the doctor injected Juvederm. What can be done to remove the lumps and the discoloration?
Answer: Blue/ black discoloration and lumps This is almost certainly bruising, and not a Tyndall effect.To minimize bruising, I have patients avoid supplements and medications that can cause bruising (there is a very long list), use blunt-tipped cannulas, mix a little epinephrine into the fillers, use ice packs both immediately during/after the injections as well as at home, recommend arnica gel and tabs, vitamin K cream, and prescription Biafine, and inject small amounts of filler at a time, very slowly. After the fact, vitamin K cream and Biafine can be helpful, and I laser any bruises with GentleLase, which is dramatically effective in most patients. it will resolve. Using a yellow cream (Clinique or Physician's formula) under a setting powder snd an opaque foundation will cover them fairly well.I have found that with all orbpart of these measures, bruising is unusual or minor.All the best! Dr. Clark

CONTACT NOW Answer: Discoloration and lumps after juvederm Sounds like you developed bruises after your cheek injections which is common. It will take about 2 weeks for the swelling and bruising to subside and for the product to fully settle. I would recommend that you see your injector in 2 weeks for a follow up.

Answer: Discoloartion after Juvederm injection There are numerous causes for discoloration after soft tissue filler injection. Without more details as to when the injections were provided, when the discoloration appeared, how long it has been present, other symptoms associated with it, etc. it is not possible to answer your question. I would suggest contacting your physician and seeking his/her guidance.

Answer: Bruising and Lumps after injection The discolouration you see is bruising, and this is common following a Juvederm injection. The bruising is related to the injection itself, rather than the product, and it will gradually subside over the next few days.It would be best if you book a follow up appointment with your injector in 1-2 weeks, and he/she can massage any residual lumps or bumps at that time. You are still recovering from the treatment and have some swelling as well which tends to subside in a week or two.

Answer: Blue discoloration after Juvederm Hello, Bluish discoloration can be caused by bruising, which will take about 2 weeks to resolve. It can also be related to the Juvederm being too close to the surface and actually being able to see the gel through the skin. Return to your doctor for in-person advise.
