I had the Juvederm injected around my eyes today and the doctor hit a blood vessel and I have a big bruise and swollen vein is that normal?
Answer: Hitting a Blood Vessel with Juvederm
There is always a possibility of hitting a blood vessel when inserting a needle into the skin. A bulging vein is less likely and I would encourage you to call your treating physician to confirm whether or not it appears normal.

Answer: Is It Normal for the Doctor to Hit a Blood Vessel?
Hi Shelly. This is completely normal when having a filler injected around the eyes. The skin in thinner and has more blood vessels in the area, I suggest taking Arnica Forte to speed the healing process.

Answer: Normal for a doctor to hit a blood vessel around the eyes ?
It certainly can happen and bruises are the result of bleeding so its not uncommon on the face after injections. I use a newer technique using a blunt cannula for that area. This has resulted in less risk of bruising and better outcomes.
