Is Nose Swelling After Juvederm Injection Under the Eyes to Lessen Hollows Normal? (photo)

Question

I had 15-20% of 1 Juvederm syringe injected into my eye area to lessen the hollows 5 days ago. The left side of my cheek and under eye had bruised and also the sides of my nose look swollen. Will my nose stay swollen from now on since the filler was injected too close to it? I'm in modeling industry and missed 2 jobs already due to bruising and nose swelling. I don't know what to do about the nose swelling.

Given the degree of bruising you had after your injection, swelling around the nose is normal.  You can take steps like cold compresses and arnica pills to help with the recovery.  The dark circle from the bruise may take the longest to resolve.   You can use a product like Auriderm post-op gel to help this.  Even in the unlikely event where Juvederm was injected too close to the nose, it can easily be dissolved instantly with hyaluronidase injection.  Best of luck.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Juvederm around the eyes and in the tear trough can draw fluid to the area and make the area look worse.  If there is product remaining after bruising, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the Juvederm.   Restylane probably does not cause as many problems in the tear trough.

You can usually expect some swelling after injections but if you bruise as you did,  you can have even more swelling and tenderness.  The swelling will resolve with time as the bruise does but this could take 2 weeks.  Sorry.  An experienced injector can make a difference in this area.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

It sounds as if the Juvederm was just injected under your eyes.  If that is the case, then the swelling around your nose is most likely just a result of the needle trauma from the injection and not directly from the Juvederm.  I would expect the swelling near your nose to go away fairly quickly.

Your issue is time! You need more healing time. Use ice compresses and massages to help correct. Best to have at kleast a week after injections just in case there are bleeding/swelling issues.
