Does injection of filler specifically in the hollow of the cheeks typically cause bruising? Is there anyway to avoid? Does administration technique have any bearing?

Answer: Bruising After Cheek Filler Bruising is a risk with any treatments that involve needle injections, including fillers. There are ways to minimize the risks of bruising, but it will always be a possibility even in the most expert of hands. Bruising can last for up to 2 weeks. Certain areas of the face have more risk of bruising than others. On the whole, my patients rarely bruise after cheek fillers. Make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician to minimize the risk of bruising. Best wishes.

Answer: Cheek Augmentation with Injectable Fillers -- typical swelling after injection, see an expert It is common to have swelling and some bruising for a couple weeks after fillers. If the swelling persists, be sure to return to your physician (or see a cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert) for a formal evaluation. If you're unhappy with your results, you can always have the filler dissolved with hyaluronidase. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
