Thank you for sharing your photo. I am sorry you are experiencing significant swelling. Most of the hyaluronic acid products, such as Juvederm, are hydrophilic. Since the product absorbs water over the first 4 hours, there will increased swelling during the day of injection. The amount of edema (swelling) depends on the amount of product used, the placement of the product (superficial to muscle vs. deep to muscle), and your own predisposition to swell. One treatment is rapidly improve the edema is to use a diuretic. In regards to the white areas, the swelling may be compressing the blood vessels causing blanching. It may also be due to superficially placed filler. Please try to arrange an actual visit with your injector. If he or she is not an experienced injector, find an expert to evaluate you.
