5 days ago I had 2 vials of Renuva Adipose Matrix injected into each outer thigh, still swollen and painful, is this normal?

Question

5 days ago I had 2 vials of Renuva Adipose Matrix infected into each outer thigh. I still have terribly swollen, red painful injection sites along with a low grade fever. Is this a normal side effect for this product?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Every patient will respond differently to treatments. Swelling after any injection is very common, and can sometimes last a few days. If you are concerned or the swelling persists, I recommend following up with your doctor to have the area examined.

Ellen Marmur, MD · Answer

Swelling after any injection is very common, but should only be experienced for a short period of time after your treatment. Usually up to 2 weeks on the face and a little longer off the face such as the thighs. It also depends on whether lidocaine was used or other techniques such as a cannula. I generally recommend daily exercise like walking or cycling to keep your circulation flowing to reduce swelling. If your swelling persists, I recommend a follow up consultation with your physician or injector to discuss.

Calvin Jung, MD · Answer

Tenderness and swelling is normal from this procedure but the redness and fever that you are speaking of is not.  I would follow up with your provider for evaluation of the area

Oren Paul Mushin, MD · Answer

Hi there, fever is usually not a normal finding, as opposed to swelling and perhaps redness that can follow certain types of treatments. I would seek out your provider. Best of luck to you.
