Blood trapped in skin after chin filler. Will this go away with time or could this be permanent? (photo)

Question

I got chin fillers done last Wednesday, and I just noticed some redness under my skin. It looks like a popped blood vessel, though I'm unsure.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Bruising can be typical after injections and will resolve in 1-2 weeks. VBeam treatments can give improvement. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question and photo. If the bruising is from the injections it will go away with time.  Applying arnica creams or gels will facilitate its removal quicker.  Also, if it is very annoying to you, some lasers may be used to eradicate the bruising even quicker.  Good Luck.

Hi Coco1227, 
I would be concerned with an occlusion. Is it tender? getting better or worse? Did the professional injecting you use a needle or a cannula? I would call the office you had the procedure done at immediately for a follow-up visit and make sure there wasn't a vessel occlusion.

Looks like a bruise in your photo. I treat post injection bruises with BBL. Takes about one minute and speeds the re absorption of blood pigments. Best Wishes, Maurice Vick MD

If still present after 10 days the return to see your injecting MD. Sometimes an external laser treatment/s helps, I recommend asking about that option.
