Answer: Belotero: Bruising Dear Coletteb, Thank you for your question. Bruising is not uncommon after filler treatment especially in the tear trough areas where the skin is thin. Ice can be applied to areas of bruising for up to 48 hours after the treatment. Medications such as Arnica can also be used to help resolve the bruising process more quickly. It is also helpful to avoid blood thinning products such as NSAIDs and fish oil. With severe bruising, it may take weeks for the bruising to resolve. I recommend that you continue close follow-up with your provider and return for repeat evaluation if there are any new or worsening concerns.

Answer: What to Do to Reduce Bruising after Filler Hi and thank you for your question! Bruising is common after filler (especially in highly vascular areas such as under eyes). Use of cannula for injection can help reducing it, but obviously it doesn't completely eliminate the chance as was the case with you. There isn't much that can be done once bruising happens and time is the best remedy. It should be all gone within 2 weeks. In the meanwhile, applying arnica and taking foods rich in vitamin C can help. I recommend by patients to get a fresh pineapple, chop it and but it in a blender and drink tons of it. It's yummy and the vitamin C helps a bit with the bruising. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Bruising after Belotero on tear thruffs Bruising after Belotero or really any filler on tear thruff is not unusual. Is such a delicate area. But the good news is that all bruises go away and if you apply Arnica Gel 3 or 4 times a day for the next 3 days sometimes the bruises start to lightens pretty quickly... Good luck on your final result. I bet you will be very pleased!

Answer: Bruising Thank you for sharing your question and photo. Unfortunately there is not much you can do now but wait. Your bruise should dissipate within 2 weeks. Prior to your next injection- be sure you stop all blood thinning products and medications i.e.: alcohol, vitamins, aspirin etc. Speak to your board certified plastic surgeon/injector for a complete list of do's and don'ts prior to injections.
