2 months post filler in my nose -3 weeks ago I woke up and had swelling in one of the injected areas, is this a concern? (Photo)

Question

Today I have woken up again with the exact same symptoms. It was very painful and very swollen causing a lot of pressure in between my eyes and causing me to have a headache all the time. Today I woke up and the same thing has happened and it’s more painful for me this time round, just feels like constant pressure in between my eyes and also making me feel very self conscious as it’s swollen.

Occasionally, filler can get infected or inflamed. Since this is bothering you, I would strongly suggest that you visit with your doctor, or another reputable facial plastic surgeon, or dermatologist. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

I recommend following up with your injector. If necessary, the filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase. It may take series of treatments. Best, Dr. Emer

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

I recommend you followup with your injector for an in person evaluation. The pain and swelling may indicate underlying infection which would need to be treated. Alternatively, this may represent an immune reaction to the filler. The filler may need to be reversed and you may need to be placed on antibiotics depending on what the evaluation shows.
