I had filler in my cheek 7 days ago and now I have a very large broken capillary above my left cheek. What can I do? (photo)

Usually bruises that result from injections of fillers goes away in two weeks. As long as you have no pain or rawness in the skin, a bruise can get better by using warm compresses (not too hot to avoid burning the skin), Vbeam laser treatment if done within a couple of days after the bruise develops, and being patient to allow time to pass. Facial bruises should not leave any permanent mark. Bruises can happen at any time, regardless how many times before someone has had fillers. Even if avoiding all blood thinning agents such as aspirin, fish oil and other supplements that are blood thinners, non steroidal antiinflammatory agents such as Aleve, Advil (Motrin, Ibuprofen) etc., bruises can happen no fault of the injector as vessels are hiding underneath the skin an can rupture whether needles or cannulaes are used.Your provider will evaluate and recommend treatments specifically for you. Some patients take arnica the herb, around the time of injections which may help lessen bruising and swelling, and some recommend bromelain a pineapple derivative, but ask you doctor about this, not for this episode, but for future treatments.

Hi!  Thank you for
your question and photo.  That appears to
be a bruise, which is typical and may occur post dermal filler injections.  Generally, the worst of the bruising and
swelling lasts about 3-5 days, but it can last up to 2 weeks post
injections.  Avoiding blood thinners, taking
arnica montana and/or bromelain supplements pre- and post- injections, and applying
arnica gel to the injected areas can help to reduce swelling and bruising.  Additionally, lasers such as the Vbeam or IPL
can be used to help bruises heal faster. 

It is slightly unclear on the image provided, but at 7 days post-procedure, it could still be bruising. If it is bruising, it will go away over time.
