Blue Veins on my Lip After Juvederm Injections

Swelling, even excessive, in the lip after fillers can occur and usually resolve spontaneously. However, pain and congested veins need to be evaluated so have your doctor examine you and the mucosa and gumline inside to be sure there is no circulation problem.

I will speak to this from personal experience. I have veins right above my lip and at times injection of filler has made them more prominent as filler was below them. This will probably go down before filler gone but is annoying. Alert doctor to this prior to next injection and they will be careful not to inject material where it might make vein more noticable.

It is possible that the veins in your lips are more prominent because of the increased filler in the tissues.  If this is the case, it should improve with time.  It is also possible that the Juvederm was injected to superficially - this can appear as a bluish discoloration.  If this is the case, then there is a product that can be injected to make the Juvederm and Blue discoloration disappear.  I advise you to follow-up with the doctor that treated you to determine the cause.  Good Luck.
