Can someone please tell me what is happening to my cheek? (Photos)

The redness can indicate intravascular occlusion or blood vessels compression and I suggest you see your physician right away.  This can be reversed with hyaluronidase and should be treated with topical vasodilators (nitropaste) as prevention.  Blindness in this area is rare, necrosis is possible if you do not see your physician and this worsens.  See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi @mmss70! This is not a bruise--this appears to be a vascular occlusion. This needs to be treated immediately. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Thank you for your question. Based on the photos and your description of the progression of symptoms, it seems the injector injected filler into a blood vessel, causing vascular compromise. Hyaluronidase should have been used to try to reduce complications. The symptoms will improve over time. Always make sure you are injected by an experienced and qualified injector.

This looks like compromise of the blood supply to the areas of your injection. This needs to be dealt with ASAP to prevent the skin from dying and scarring. If you are not comfortable with your injector then I suggest you see a physician who can deal with filler complications. Do not put this off! Best wishes.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry to hear of your complication. Unfortunately it appears that you had a vessel compromised as a portion of your injection, leading to a diminished blood flow to your cheek tissues.  I would recommend getting your injector to place hyaluronidase throughout the cheek as well as pursue oral aspirin, topical nitro paste, and possibly antibiotics.  Thankfully this does tend to heal well with time.  

This is not a bruise, the pattern suggest a complication from arterial occlusion caused by the filler. You need to get this treated immediately (hyaluronidase, warm compresses, aspirin etc.) to prevent permanent damage. This is an emergency, don't wait. If your physician doesn't want to help you, find someone else. Good luck.

I would immediately return to your treating physician for reversal of the product.  It appears that a vessel may have been occluded and you may have an infection in the area. Please consult an expert in cosmetic injections.  Best, Dr. Green

Thankyou for your question.You are correct it is NOT  a bruise. One of your arteries appears to be blocked. My suggestion is to go back to you injector or elsewhere and get the product dissolved to unblock the artery . Or go elsewhere . Please go asap. Good luck
