Hi there. I had some Bellafill injected into my top of the nose (.2) and I immediately had a dark bruise appear and some redness further up the nose. That was on Wednesday. It’s Monday now and the same color, appears to be getting lighter. I went to the emergency room and wanted to do hyperbaric oxygen but they did not allow me to do it. I’ve been applying nitro paste, taking anti biotice and warm compresses. I’m so scared something bad will happen. Advice please?
