Still swollen cheek near eye after cheek filler about two weeks ago will Hyaluronidase fix this? (photos)

Question

juvdederm ultra plus, cheek filler

Harold J. Kaplan, MD · Answer

Hello,Typically, there would not continue to be an issue of swelling after two weeks with dermal filler injections to the cheek/eye area.  It would also appear that the photo shows pinkness as well.  We suggest you return to your injector to have them evaluate the area to determine if this is an issue of having too much filler/bumps/lumps or if there is inflammation in the area causing your symptoms.Regards.

Thomas Trevisani, MD · Answer

I suggest you be seen by your Doctor and address your concerns. Generally speaking, it takes few weeks for product to settle. However, if you want to dissolve it - it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

I'm sorry to hear about this extra swelling/lump. Vycross technology found in Juvederm draws water and therefore increases swelling. I prefer Restylane and Refyne/Defyne in the tear trough for this reason. I suggest you see your injector for a diagnosis and see if they feel hyaluronidase is appropriate.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

I would definitely go see your injector for a follow up. Swelling usually goes down after a few days post injection. If this product was indeed Juvederm hyaluronidase will dissolve the product within 24-48hours.

Dear Bt34,Juvederm has significant swelling post injection. I would follow up with you plastic surgeon but typically I tell all my patients to wait a full two weeks.  Generally at 2 weeks they are happy and glad they didn't dissolve.  Dissolving is unpredictable as well.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
