Thuresday 8/4 I had juvederm injection in lips and nasal labial folds. On side got bruised and discolored. Then started to get whitehead bumps all over. Extreme pain. My PA that does injections didn't have the dissolver on hand. I went to 3 different hospitals on 8/6 and was misdiagnosed twice. Third one dissolved the HA filler. I'm on a steroid and antibiotic. Tomorrow I go to my dermatologist and wound care for a chair chamber treatment. How long until this clears? Could I go blind?

Answer: Vascular occlusion healing timeline I'm sorry this has happened and it was left untreated for a couple days. The best outcomes are when treated within first 24 hours. No one should be injecting filler without having hyaluronidase on hand! Antibiotics and antivirals are needed. Occlusive dressings lead to the best outcomes and I agree with Biafine. I would treat with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). I think that there might be some skin loss but with good wound care and HBO, it should heal fairly well. I can't predict if/how much scarring there will be. It doesn't look like there is dead tissue presently, and that's a good thing. It will takes a couple months to heal. You have no chance of eye problems if you don't have any now. It would've happened right away in most cases, and within the first 24 hours in all cases. Cannulas are safer and that's all I use in most areas. See link.

Answer: Vascular occlusion from Juvederm Very unlikely that you will go blind, as the area affected is away from eyes area and it surrounding vessels.I would continue the antibiotic, stop the steroid and use Nitrous Paste to increase blood flow. It should heal properly, and without any issues.
