Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Seek your medical provider immediately, having a filler injected to the glabellar area can cause a blockage in that region and lead to a vascular issue. I recommend having Botox for future treatments, If your wrinkles were very deep to start, it may require a few rounds of Botox to smooth out the lines, up to 2 yrs of regular injections

This could become a serious issue, so over the internet is not the place you need to be! Return to your injecting doc for appropriate care. Or seek a second opinion in person..

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

It looks like the vein in your forehead is more prominent than it was before the procedure.  This means that there is more pressure in the vein either from being occluded or from external pressure.  This needs to be addressed by your doctor soon.  I think it probably needs to be dissolved with hyaluronidase.  This area is particularly prone to vascular problems and should only be injected by the most experienced physician.
