Blood blister of lip after Juvederm injection.

Bryan K. Chen, MD answers: How to speed up Juvederm absorbtion?

How do I speed up the absorpbtion of Juvederm if I feel it is too much? I only had it done yesterday but I have a great big blood blister on the inside of my lip and I feel I have had too much put in. I am so worried. I havent eaten since I had it done please let me know if massaging it will help it to be smoothed out and absorbed.

You may have developed a hematoma (blood collection) in your lip after the injection.  I would consult your injecting physician to confirm this.  Consider Arnica Montana (available in gel and pill form) as well as warm compresses to the bruised area of the lip.  You should be able to appreciate the final results of the injections at 2 weeks after the swelling has resolved.  The hematoma (if that is what it is), can take several weeks to resolve fully.

Good luck.
