Yesterday I went to see a doctor for filler around my temples ,. He suggested Bellafill,. Upon injection he hit a vein on the side of my forehead and it bled. The vein became enlarged and. today it is bruised and tender,I called him and he said not to worry it will go away within two weeks. I am still very concerned about complications like blindness blood clots stroke, I am not sure what to do.

Answer: Hitting a vein during temple injection - do I have to worry? The temple is very vascular and hitting a vessel is fairly common. I use cannulas in this area when treating superficially as he did and there is less bruising from that technique. The complications you are worried about such as blindness, stroke, and clotting/necrosis are problems which occur immediately during injection in most cases. Bruising is what you have right now and there is no need to worry about the other complications. Arnica, and vascular laser will help this improve faster.

Answer: Complications After a Filler Injection. Congratulations on your choice of filler. Bellafill is a filler that will stimulate you to make your own tissue so that you will not have to constantly come back for more injections like most of the other fillers. Please be assured that you do not have to worry about your concerns over blindness, stroke and blood clots. What happened in your case was that a blood vessel was injured by either the needle or cannula that was used to inject the Bellafill. This is a very common consequence of any injection as the face has an amazing number of blood vessels in it and missing them all while doing an injection is almost impossible. All that has happened for you is that you have a bruise and this will resolve in the next week or two.
