Black Eye After Juvederm Injection

May 30, 2010
Asked By:red and purple in Melbourne, Australia

Why do I have a black eye after a Juvederm injection to put volume into my cheeks? I had a Juvederm injection on Friday. That evening and the next day I had a headache and felt unwell, and Saturday I awoke to find severe bruising of a red/purple colour under my right eye. Left eye is fine. Is this normal? Could the headache and feeling unwell be a side effect of Juvederm also?
