Feeling dizzy, unbalanced after juvederm - should get some of it dissolved.

Question

I had juverderm voluma to temples and upper cheeks 8 days ago. There is no sign of infection but Since then I have been feeling very dizzy, unbalanced, it feels like the filler is pushing on a nerve especially on my right temple which still has a lump. I am wondering if I should get some of it dissolved to ease the tension feeling in temples? My head feels like it's being squeezed tight! It's a horrible feeling. The filler looks good and i am trying to wait a full 2 weeks to see if I feel better

I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation. If necessary, this can be reversed with hyaluronidase. It may take a series of treatments. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your Voluma injection side effects.  Though photographs would be useful I would advocate returning to your injector to evaluate the lump you have along your right temple.  This may be a hematoma from accidental injury to a blood vessel which could be causing your pressure.  Once diagnosed your injector can offer you treatment advice to help speed healing.  Best wishes.

Kouros Azar, MD · Answer

You need to schedule an appointment with your injector to have this assessed in person. If it is the filler that is causing the issue and not a hematoma then yes, you may want to have some of it dissolved.

Thank you for your question emmajbrown. I am sorry to hear about
your situation. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to enhance the mid face. It can also be placed in the temples. It is difficult to make an assessment without an in-office exam. Please follow up with your doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Bernard Salameh, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for our question. In my opinion, the lump on your right temple can be either filler or it can be a blood collection (hematoma). It is best to follow up with your Doctor as he would be able to tell the difference. If it turns out to be filler you can always dissolve it with Hyaluronidase (Enzyme that degrades fillers). I hope this helps. Best wishes!
