It's been 9.5 days since my initial Juvederm injection (1syringe). Erythema has subsided, but there's still a visible reticular pattern. Also, the skin in the area is slightly sloughing. Inside of my right nostril feels a bit dry. Initially (first 3 days) I could see a little blood in dried mucus. I saw an ENT 5 days ago and he didn't think it's Necrosis but likely severe swelling, possible infection, and I've been on Prednisone and Antibiotics since.I'm seeing my PS but wanted a second opinion.
