What will happen to vein occlusion due to Radiesse nose injection?

February 28, 2013
Asked By:Margaret2000

I had Radiesse nose injection 5 days ago and right after injection, my forehead has a swollen long narrow shape from mid of eyebrow going vertical up to mid forehead (No radiesse was injected to forehead).Doc said it's vein occlusion. 2nd day post-op, swollen worm shape on forehead turns yellow bruise color, but 3rd day yellow color is almost gone. 5th day post-op, swollen worm shape on forehead turns yellow again. Can vein occlusion causes skin necrosis/scar?what are symptoms? Doc asked me to do warm compresses, 1 325mg Aspirin/day, and Arnica. What else should I do? The swollen vein on forehead is still swollen, what will happen if this vein is blocked for weeks? Thanks for your help!
