Will SwelIing from Juvederm Injection Directly over the End of my Eyebrow Go Away?

Question

I had a Juverderm injection directly over the end of my eyebrow 2 days ago. It was suggested that I use a filler instead of the Botox, since the Botox was not diminshing the line that well. I have swelling from the arch of my brow to the end of brow and the end of brow feels like a long lump. I have some brusing also. Will this go away? How long should I wait before I seek to desolve the filler with Hyaluronidase? and will that work?

Swelling, redness, discomfort and bruising can last for up to one week or two. You can use a pack of frozen peas to ease the swelling, and keep your head elevated while sleeping.If after two weeks the swelling hasn't subsided, please return to your injector.

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

It can take up to a week for swelling to go away, perhaps longer if you are bruised too.  Swelling and bruising are the most common side effects of injections but it will all resolve.  Be patient,  It's too soon to talk about dissolving the product you just had put in. Wait until all bruising is gone before you judge your final results.

Swelling in the area of a hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm / Restylane / Belotero) can take one to two weeks to settle, so I would counsel patience at this point two days out.  Most of the time, the firmness softens and it looks and feels very natural.

	You are correct that this class of fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which gives one some reassurance that you do not have to live with a result with which you are not happy. It does work; however, I have found it very rarely necessary to use hyaluronidase.

	If you are still concerned with the look or feel after two weeks, check back with your injector.

Swelling from initial injection of juvederm may take a few days to a week to resolve. Give it time it usually gets better.

Channing R. Barnett, MD · Answer

Typically swelling and bruising from hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane last anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks. As you are only 2 days post your filler treatment, it is likely the swelling you are experiencing will go down.  I do not recommend massing or manipulating the area as it likely will just make the swelling worse.  If it hasnt resolved after a good 2 weeks, I recommend following up with your doctor.
