Why Do I Have a Weird Feeling in my Eye Above the Cheek I Had Juvederm Injected?

This is an unusual outcome.  What I would suspect is that this is neuropraxia.  There are countless sensory nerves and branches in the face.  When one of these is bruised or injured, as it may have been during injection, it can lead to stinging or an electrical sensation, among others.  Some gentle massage of the region may help.  I don't suspect that this will be permanent.

This is an unusual complication.  Likely the needle hit a small nerve. I would definitely go back to your doctor and let him or her know what you are experiencing.

More than likely a sensory nerve was "tweaked" a bit when the injection process took place. If this persists, you may want to see your doctor.

You mentioned both Juvederm and Botox. You described the juvederm but not the botox , where was it injected/

you need to see your DOCTOR who injected you. And see an ophthalmologist for a complete exam of the eyes and the muscles of the eye.

Most likely a small skin nerve twig was injured during the injection.

If the only symptom present is a sting when you touch the area, and it is improving, most likely this will resolve. I recommend that you give your doctor a call and make him/her aware of the situation.

Because it's been only 24 hours after the injection, applying ice to the area for 5 minutes every 2-3 hours may help the sensation. 

 

Hi.

The needle must have hit a small nerve, giving you this weird feeling. It may take weeks, but it will go away.
