Nerve damage from .5cc Juvederm Voluma dermal filler in left cheek. What's the average healing time?

I had this procedure 7 months ago. My surgeon was struggling to get the product in & pushed through. She used a cannula. I have been diagnosed with 2nd division Painful Post Traumatic Trigeminal Neuropathy (PPTTN) by a Neurologist. At first I had just autonomic changes such as redness & swelling and then after 3 weeks I started to feel pain. I have now been in horrible constant daily pain that effects my cheek and eye. 1200mg daily neurontin no working :( Hope to see Pain Mgt Specialist soon.

Thank you for sharing your problem. Massaging the bumps in your lips might smooth them out. If this is not successful, Hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the Juvederm. Make sure you are being treated by an experienced board-certified physician. Good luck.

If this is not better in 2 weeks you can improve this with venus legacy treatments and saline injections.  Try firm pressure for now. If you are unhappy, this can be reversed but I would suggest waiting for 2 weeks.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your photos. You appear to have some bruising from the JUVÉDERM® injections. Bruising usually results from an inexperienced injector, but it is not uncommon with any dermal filler. I recommend waiting at least another week before judging your results. Your bruising should fade w...
