What to do if you feel pain after hyaluronic acid injection

Hyaluronic acid is mainly used for cosmetic surgery, usually in the nose and chest. Redness and swelling will occur during injection, so female friends are advised to pay attention to post-operative care after the operation. The problem of soreness, swelling and pain after hyaluronic acid injection is generally due to inflammation caused by urinary tract infection. It requires timely treatment and avoid eating spicy foods.

After hyaluronic acid is injected, there will be slight redness, swelling, itching and softness and looseness at the injection site: this is a normal phenomenon after injection, but these discomforts usually disappear after a few days.

The swelling after lip treatment will last for a long time. Some patients will experience slight swelling for up to a week. During this period, the lips will look less natural. Therefore, please be reminded that the immediate effect after injection is not the appearance effect.

Generally, mild swelling will occur within 2 hours after the injection of hyaluronic acid, reach a peak after 20 hours, stagnate after 40 hours, and begin to subside after 70 hours. Choosing hyaluronic acid injection will cause very little damage, the degree of swelling is temporary, and recovery is fast.

The swelling caused by hyaluronic acid injection is not obvious. Many methods can be used to reduce the swelling, such as cold compresses, which can effectively help reduce the swelling. After about 3 days, a natural effect can be achieved, just like a naturally grown piece of meat.

Maintain normal basic maintenance procedures after hyaluronic acid injection and do not massage the treated area specifically. Do not take a sauna one week after hyaluronic acid injection, and try to avoid taking aspirin or other similar blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs for one week. It is also important to note that you should avoid eating spicy foods such as peppers, seafood, beef, mutton, etc. after hyaluronic acid injection. Proper conditioning after hyaluronic acid injection will help recovery.

Post-hyaluronic acid injection care:

1. Due to the high water absorption of hyaluronic acid, it is normal to experience swelling within 3 days after injection. For people with sensitive constitutions, the swelling period will be about 4-7 days. After injecting hyaluronic acid, do not apply hot or cold compresses without authorization, let alone massage, and try not to touch the injection site within 6 hours.

2. In terms of diet structure, we should pay attention to eating a light diet and avoid eating spicy foods such as seafood, so as to avoid wound infection, inflammation and allergies that aggravate the condition.

3. Secondly, you cannot wash your face, put on makeup, apply facial masks, or do other skin care immediately when the wound is still swollen. Wounds take time to heal, and doing these things at this time can easily aggravate the condition, leading to bacterial invasion of the wound and a series of complications.

Risks and Prevention

1. Common adverse reactions after hyaluronic acid injection are local redness, swelling, darkening of color and mild pain, most of which can be relieved on their own within 3 days.

2. After hyaluronic acid injection, the skin may feel granular, which usually disappears on its own after a week.

3. Rare adverse reactions include redness, unevenness and hematoma at the injection site.

4. Obvious swelling often occurs on the lips. Most cases occur within one week after injection. It is mostly triggered by factors such as exercise, sunlight exposure and menstruation.
