I injected Juvederm on my nose very few months ago.Since last night my nose became swollen and
painful.Is this normal?In essence Juvederm as well as all other fillers can become
infected. It is much more likely in the
immediate post injection period rather than several
months later. Still possible, the
symptoms are suggestive of a localized infection. Antibiotics, warm compresses, and perhaps
even drainage might be indicated. I
suggested that you return to the physician who did the injection. Unfortunately with such a variety of
injectors it is very important to have your work done by someone who can manage
any complications which may occur. There
is a remote possibility that this is not related to your Juvederm, but
unlikely.

Go back to your doctor for him/her to evaluate the area.  Filler is a foreign body and can get infected.  It might need to be dissolved and treated with antibiotics.  Steve Weiner, MD, Facial Plastic Surgeon, Destin, Florida.
