I noticed a purple lump a few hours after the injection I got 3 days ago on wednesday. I called my doctor, and she told me to ice and arnica. My left side of my face was also numb directly after the filler, had red blotches on my left cheek. Bruise hasgotten worse, and pressure on my eye. woke up and blood in my eye. What should I do? Is this serious? Their office was closed today. They have very good reviews. I have very apparent veins.. so perhaps she hit one on accident?
Answer: Bad bruising and blood post Voluma filler Dear So103,I am sorry you are having difficulty with your Voluma filler. Bruising is normal after injections in the undereye area as this skin is very thin and there are a lot of veins. I would recommend using a cannula in the future to reduce the bruising. In the meantime, continue to use arnica and keep your head elevated.The bleeding in your eye which is called a subconjunctival hemorrhage is not related to the injections. I would discuss this with your doctor and it is not a serious medical condition. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Answer: Bruising post fillers I suggest seeing your physician thi can be improved with vbeam, yellow laser, aerolase or excel v laser. but typically this can take 2-3 weeks to resolve and is a normal expected complication of needles to the eyes. Consider cannula injections next time. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Bad bruising and blood in eye post-under eye trough Voluma HA filler. Thank you for sharing your questions and photograph and I am sorry to see the significant bruising that has developed after your undereye treatment. The undereyes are very thin skin with lots of veins and as a result is prone to this type of bruising, especially when needles are used. Though this will improve given enough time I would help speed resolution with the use of warm compresses, arnica/bromelain supplementation, head elevation, and a diet of dark leafy green vegetables. Hang in there.

Answer: Bruising The under eye area is probably one of the most sensitive on the face so bruising not atypical. However, the bruise in the eye is not normal. Make an appointment to see your surgeon to be examined in person.
