I was very swollen the next day after taking the hyaluronic acid injection

Hyaluronic acid is a relatively common beauty method. It can make the face thinner, so it is popular among many girls. Some people experience facial swelling after injecting hyaluronic acid. In fact, don’t worry about this situation. This is a normal reaction. Generally, the swelling will go away in about three days. If the swelling still exists after three days, or if some pain occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Don't panic if you have these five symptoms

1. Redness, swelling, pain, and bruising

Answer: The injection of hyaluronic acid should be completely painless within ten minutes; some people may feel a swelling sensation, which is normal because the skin at the injection site is stretched; if the pain persists one day after the injection or there is no sign of swelling and bruising subsiding after seven days, you should go to the hospital for a check-up immediately.

2. Unnatural

Answer: Although hyaluronic acid is good, don’t take too much! Recommendation: The height of injection rhinoplasty is between 3-5mm, and the same applies to other parts. The inflated face is not beautiful. The skin has its own limit. Excessive injection may easily lead to tissue necrosis. Don’t think that “more is better”. It is not necessarily true that more is better. Just listen to your doctor. Too much will definitely look fake. Do you think it will still look natural?

3. Concave and convex

Answer: It is normal to have slight unevenness right after the injection, which will disappear automatically in about a week. However, if the area still feels bumpy after more than half a month, and there is no improvement after slight pressure, it means that the injection has failed.

4. Lump

Answer: A few months later, the skin at the site of hyaluronic acid injection will appear dark red or purple, and there will be lumps to the touch that will persist. In this case, the hand needs steroid hormone injections and laser treatment. Of course, you need to go to the hospital to see an expert for consultation and treatment.

5. Embolism

Answer: The hyaluronic acid used for injection is in the form of a gel with very small molecules. Once injected into the blood vessels, it will block them and cause embolism. If not treated promptly, it may cause serious consequences such as blindness. But the chance of this happening is not high, so everyone must find an experienced doctor to perform the injection.
