Please help, I received a hyaluronic acid injection a few days ago, there has been considerable swelling, pain, and blood under my skin. my eyes also seem to be infected. i have gone to a few hospitals and the doctors say there is nothing they can do for me. I received this treatment in china and i am not sure if they gave me real hyaluronic acid. what are my options right now. i am very concerned. thank you

Answer: Problems after ?HA filler
Midea, I would go see a doctor that does this in you home area. Hopefully they will realize that you will ot have this done again when away from home and they will give you an opportunity to earn their trust. If you just have bruising then it might resolve with warm compresses. If you think that you have infection you need someone to see you right away. However, I have not seen this happen. Swelling, if injection under the eyes, is common even for a couple of weeks so that might need time.

Answer: Treated with hyaluronic acid injections, major swelling
Note that with hyaluronic acid injections it is common to have some swelling or light pain after the injections, so what you are describing in that effect isn't totally abnormal or worrisome. I don't know what you mean by your eyes are infected...were you injected below the eyes? What issues are you having? Aside from asking what you received and getting some kind of verification (hard to do with a product injected overseas), you could get hyaluronidase injections to take out the HA product. But that's only going to work if you were in fact injected with hyaluronidase.
