Late onset filler inflammation. What should I do? (Photo)

Question

I got filler 3 months ago. Voluma and Vollure under eyes and cheekbone. I also got Botox around the eyes and forehead. When I got it done my left eye felt some pressure and my ear felt a little weird too, nothing else. There was never any inflammation or anything so I never really said anything. Recently my stomach was sick for days and my face felt pressure on the left. I then noticed the swelling in the pictures took lots of antihistamines and my GP doctor says I don’t have a sinus infection.

I recommend following up with your injector. If necessary, the filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  The area of swelling is concerning and I would advocate returning to your injector for an in-person examination in order to diagnose and offer treatment options.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Nothing takes the place of an in person examination - I would suggest following up with your injector. Sometimes filler can get infected long after it's injected; if this is the case, then it should be dissolved and you you will likely need a course of antibiotics. However, nothing takes the place of an in person examination, and you should start with that. Best of luck!

Thank you for sharing your photos.My recommendation is to consult with the injector to see what options you have. He/she may be able to resolve the product with hyaluronidase.
