I received an injection of Juverderm yesterday. The left side of my top lip required more of the syringe than the right side. Now, my right side has healed beautifully while the left is still bruised and swollen (more so than yesterday). Also, there is a blotchy red rash developing above my lip near my nose and on my cheek. I am scared this is not temporary and might be more serious.

Answer: Rash can occur as well as bruise Likely you have bruise. Transient rash can occur after Juvederm and this will go. Vascular occlusion is a very very rare issue. Possibly go on one of the antivirals such as Valtrex just in case of a fever blister type event. Try Temovate cream as a trial. This steroid cream works very well. If persistent a course of Medrol Dosepack is also a possibility. You need to see your PHYSICIAN injector for consultation, diagnosis and treatment. My Best, Dr C

Answer: Ask doctor about rash after juvederm A blotchy rash after any filler injection can be a sign of vascular occlusion - where either the juvederm got into a vessel and blocked it or the pressure from a clump of filler is putting pressure on the vessel and causing blood flow to not reach the skin. This can lead to skin death or necrosis and should be evaluated immediately so that corrective measures can be taken. I cannot tell from your photo if this is the case. Other reasons for rash include allergic or irritant dermatitis to the agent used to cleanse the skin or numb the skin prior to injection or to ice packs used after injection. These rashes are typically more bumpy and burn, sting or itch.
