What should I do if my face becomes swollen after a few months of hyaluronic acid injection?

Everyone loves beauty. Everyone wants to be beautiful. For those who are not born with good conditions, they will use various external measures to adjust. Injecting hyaluronic acid into the face is a very common method, which can effectively maintain the elasticity of facial skin, remove wrinkles, etc. However, some people will experience swelling after injecting hyaluronic acid. Here we will introduce what to do if the face is swollen a few months after injecting hyaluronic acid.

Facing the situation of swelling a few months after hyaluronic acid injection:

First of all, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to determine whether the swelling is caused by hyaluronic acid injection;

Then, find an experienced doctor to check whether the injected hyaluronic acid is genuine. Generally, there will be no swelling;

Finally, targeted treatment should be carried out based on the examination results.

Hyaluronic acid injection is the process of injecting hyaluronic acid as a filler into the dermis wrinkles, depressions or areas that need to be plumped up, such as the lips, cheeks, nose bridge, chin, scars, etc., which can achieve the effect of immediate wrinkle removal and changing appearance. In the past, collagen was used as the structure in the dermis. If we use the analogy of building a house with reinforced concrete, collagen is like the steel frame, and hyaluronic acid is like the cement poured in after the steel bars are built. The expansion effect of hyaluronic acid prevents the steel frame from collapsing. However, the injected hyaluronic acid will be slowly absorbed by the human body, so if you want to maintain the effect, intermittent injections are required. Once regular injections are no longer continued, the effects will gradually fade and eventually disappear completely.

Precautions before injection:

Before treatment, please keep your skin clean and remove any cosmetics and skin care products. It is recommended to use cleansing milk and astringent to clean the skin. Use cold water to clean so that the pores can shrink. It is strongly recommended that patients do not take anti-inflammatory drugs for at least 3-4 days before treatment, as they may aggravate bleeding and swelling at the injection site.

Precautions after injection:

After the injection treatment, please keep your face relaxed and do not make too many facial expressions. For at least two weeks after the treatment, please avoid exposure to high heat environments, as it may cause the hyaluronic acid injected into the face to be quickly decomposed, thereby shortening the filling effect. Do not touch or massage the injection site.
