my nose and face turned purple. I had bleeding into my eye I was told the juvederm was too thick to draw back in the syringe so as to be able to check whether the needle was in the blood vessel Is this true
Answer: Filler Injected Caused My Nose to Turn Blue This is a medical emergency and needs to be treated as such. I suggest you see a filler expert for immediate treatment to prevent long term complications such as scarring and tissue loss. In the future any fillers you have injected should be done with a microcannula to help decrease the chance of this occuring. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Juvederm was injected into the blood vessels in my nose and my nose turned purple If you're not seeing an expert physician injector now, you should schedule an urgent consultation with one immediately. Filler injection into blood vessels can happen to even the most experienced injector but the key at this point is to find someone who can reverse the blood flow issues that have developed. This can involve hyaluronidase, nitropaste, warm compresses and a variety of other maneuvers. You will probably be best cared for by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist that will treat you personally as opposed to delegating your care to a non-doc. I wish you the best.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Vascular Injury from Juvederm in nasal injection This is why I've have stopped injecting noses with filler. The complication rate is too high. The question about checking for reflux is the safest way to check if you are in a vessel. The problem is if the needle is too small or the filler is too thick, a "negative reflux" can give you a false sense of security. You might actually be in the vessel but there is too much resistance to see blood flash back into the syringe. Most HA's are too thick to get good reflux test, so that's why I prefer cannulas for these in all instances where a significant vessel injury is possible. Sculptra is able to reflux because it is most saline/water. With large needles, Voluma is too. I suspect small needles were used in the nasal injection and they probably don't reflux. The problem you have is a medical emergency and needs immediate hyaluronidase, heat, massage, and blood thinners.
