How many ml for PRP injections for cheek area, under eyes and under lip? (Photo)

Question

I had a 2nd PRP procedure yesterday and have severe edema. Can you confirm how many ml is the range for facial injections?

Richard E. Moore, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and posting your picture. The amount of PRP collected and injected is somewhat dependent on the amount of blood drawn and the specific PRP kit that is used. Swelling following PRP injections is not unusual and the good news is that it is almost impossible to inject to much PRP. If your swelling is not improving in the next 48-72 hours, I would suggest following up with your physician.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Thank you for the photo. Regularly we recover about 5 ml of plasma, 1 ml of PRP and 4 ml of PPP per session. There is not an específic amount of plasma indicated for a particular area. I will advise to consult with your physician for evaluation of the swelling if it doesn't resolve or lessen within the first 48h. Dr.LM.

Hi jeabor, Theoretically, PRP injections should not produce adverse reactions but in reality, there is some swelling and erythema. You should go back and see your doctor to rule-out any other source of allergic reaction. Were you exposed to anything else like scents or powders? Was your face wiped with an antiseptic you are allergic to? Do you have allergy to aneshetics?In the meantime, lower your dietary salt intake and watch out for difficulty of breathing or itchiness. Swelling would usually subside in 4 days so try to put some cold compress if it makes you more comfortable.All the best, Justin Harper, MD.
