I have some minor bruising on my cheek and forehead from my silicone microdroplet injections. How can I reduce or get rid of them? Warm compresses? Ice pack? How long does bruising from these injections typically last?
Answer: Perhaps 5% of people have some bruising. Perhaps 5% of people have some bruising. Usually there are signs of it right after the injection where the skin gets a little swollen and purple. In the office, immediate application of ice helps stem that tide and usually reverses it. We recommend the patient use ice packs on the nose when they get home that day, and typically by the next day there should not be an issue with it. I have never seen it last more than one day. The reason is that a very tiny, small gauge needle is used for the injection and the chance of "hitting a vessel" is nearly zero.
