There has to be a link between fillers headaches and sinus pain! Why am I experiencing the same symptoms?

Fillers into the forehead are usuually placed on the periosteum. This can cause pressure and result in pain. I always warn my patients about this complication. Typically, when it occurs, it lasts a day and is relieved by ibuprofen. If the pain is shooting and not pressure, it might indicate a nerve got dinged during injection, but that would have caused a sharp, quick and usually transient pain during injection. If it persists, it could mean the nerve is damaged (temporarily) and require neurotin to relieve. Changes in vision are more disturbing and require immediate evaluation as soon as noticed.

Thank you for your question. The link could very possibly be the sensory nerves which transmit pain and a pressure sensation. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact my office at 614-436-8888 so that we can arrange to schedule you for a formal consultation.
