I have bruising and swelling in the cheekbone after voluma. What shall I do? Is this normal? (Photo)

Thanks for sharing your photos. Sometimes there can be delayed swelling and bruising that manifests after a couple days. There is a very low likelihood for infection, but amoxicillin shouldn't hurt anything. Just try to be patient, the swelling and bruising will subside shortly.

Thank you for your question in regards to Voluma. Swelling and bruising are very common after filler injections. It can take up to two weeks for it to subside and have total corrections. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

What you are experiencing is not in any way unusual. Do not worry. It should resolve itself within 2-4. Hope this helps.Kindly,Kouros Azar

It is completely normal to have some
localized bruising after injections. I always recommend that my patients plan
to stop taking any type of blood thinners including:aspirin, ibuprofen products, ginkgo biloba,
garlic, ginseng, Omega 3/Fish Oils, vitamin E, etc.
2 weeks prior, alcohol 1 week prior to their appointment and 2-3 days after.
These can all contribute to bruising. Although the literature describes mixed data, some patients take Arnica
Montana and eat pineapple for the
bromelain prior to injectables to help lessen bruising. Your
bruising should go away in a few days, in the meantime it is okay to cover with
makeup.

It is hard to tell from the picture, but it appears to me that is a bruise only, which can happen after any filler.It is also not unusual that the bruising appears 2 days after the injection as voluma is injected deeply under the muscle and it can take a while for a bruise to surface. It will resolve . You can use ice and/or Arnika to expedite the healing. My product of choice is called Arnika forte which is a combination of Arnika and bromalin which is an extract from pineapple . It ameliorates swelling and bruising.
