Is it common to have bruise patches all over the nose and upper cheek after a Juvederm injection?

If you are having a problem with skin discoloration following filler injection you should contact the physician who performed your injections immediately.  This could be something as simple as bruising or something more serious that requires immediate intervention..

It sounds unusual to have this type of reaction.  There is a network of arteries in the area and the filler may have been injected into the artery mistakenly.  The filler can then travel and cause blockage of smaller arteries downstream.   When this happens, tissue is deprived of blood supply and can become dark in color.  Seek the help of a board certified plastic surgeon in your area immediately.  

Thank you for your question. It is important that you contact and visit your injecting physician immediately to be assessed. All the best,  

This picture is a emergency and needs to be treated immediately so you do not lose any of your skin and get scarring.  I suggest calling your physician, taking an aspirin and ibuprofen right now, and using warm compresses on the areas.  You likely will get injections of an enzyme to break apart the filler but require other medical treatments such as nitropaste to help blood dilation in the tissue, and oral viagra to help increase blood flow.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi Dana,You must see an expert injecting physician immediately for evaluation and probable dissolving of the filler that was recently injected.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P
