Is bruising due to tear trough fillers 5 days after the treatment expected? (photo)

stewarrNov 15, 2016
I had juverdern fillers 5 days ago via a cannula with a registered and experienced nurse. Bruising on one side of my face has developed underneath one eye and vertically down my cheek. As the bruising developed 5 days after the filler was injected and there is the bruise on my cheek, could you please let me know if this expected or if it is something i should be concerned about? Thanks in advance for your input.

It's hard to speak for another injector's technique. It may be that he was molding the filler for a better result. I recommend following up with the Dr. about your concerns and feedback. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. The type of filler recommended varies based on individual need and goals. We often use Volbella which is indicated for treatment of perioral lines and lip augmentation with results lasting up to one year.

This is most likely coincidental and not due to your Juvederm injections. I recommend following up with your Dr. for an evaluation and any necessary treatment. Best, Dr. Emer
