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

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.
