Went to a med spa to get filler and when the nurse placed the needle she immediately took it out because there was blood and a sac thing and then it started turning dark! It appears my whole right side is a dark dark color. Mind you my eye is a little red from washing it. I did take a tablespoon of ginger, had a big glass of wine and took Motrin yesterday completely forgetting the fact I was getting filler today. Does this look like hematoma or necrosis I'm so scared and don't know what to do!!
Answer: Hematomas From the history you have provided of drinking wine, taking NSAIDs, and ginger...this most likely represents a hematoma and you should not be worried about necrosis at this time. Keep your head elevated and it should resolve over a week or two. This is very common in that area and the skin around the eyes is rather thin an will show any bit of blood very easily.

Answer: Juvederm injections to the Lower Eyelids I would not worry too much about necrosis. This is a very uncommon area to get tissue necrosis as there is a tremendous amount of blood flow there. You do however have a good bruise that will more than likely get worse before it gets better. The pictures are limited so my analysis does have limitations, but this is what it looks like. Arnica Cream and if you can tolerate it, use some Vicks vapor rub to the area.Best of luck

Answer: Bruising after Tear Trough Injection with Fillers-Use Cannulas It's difficult to tell from your pictures, if this is a hematoma, but some bruising can occur after injections. This can be improved with icing, arnica and VBeam treatments. I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation. I recommend injections with cannulas to limit bruising. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Severely concerned, please help! Necrosis or bad hematoma after Juvederm in tear trough? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry to hear of your filler experience. Based on your narrative it sounds as if your nurse injector struck either a vein or artery when piercing the skin resulting in the "sac" you described. Luckily it sounds that they did not inject the filler as a result. Based on your pictures alone your darkened tissue is more likely bruising rather than necrosis. You may have a small hematoma as well. This should clear with time but you can take some adjunct measures to try and accelerate its absorption - use cold compresses to your cheek for 2 days then switch to warm compresses, sleep with your head elevated at night with a couple of extra pillows behind your back. You may want to also consider using Arnica Montana and bromelain as supplements, while eating dark leafy green vegetables. Hope this helps.
