Hyaluronic Acid Injection, Major Swelling, What Are My Options?

Midea, I suggest you see a certified injector for an in person evaluation. If it was indeed a HA filler, this could be dissolved with hyaluronidase, keep in mind swelling is common for the first 2-3 weeks

Dear Midea,Please see an injector in your area to evaluate youIf it was an HA product, it can be dissolvedBest regards,Nima Shemirani

Hi Midea.  I am guessing that MDs here do not know what to do because they are not sure what was injected.  If the product you received was in fact a hyaluronic acid based filler, then it should be reversible with Vitrase or hyaluronidase.  We have done this reversal often and it works very quickly to dissolve the HA product (usually Restylane or Juvederrm).  

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. 

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.
