Juvederm: Q&A
Ask a QuestionRed Bruise at Juvederm Injection Site - Will This Go Away?
I had juvederm injected last night into the nasolabial folds and corners of my mouth. Right after I had swelling. Woke up this morning also with the same amour of swelling. By midday I had a red injection site bruise at corner of mouth about the size of a pensil eraser. By this evening I had exact same thing also on the other side. Is this normal and go way on it's own and usually how long will it take to go way?

Bruising after Juvederm
Hello and thank you for the question.
Bruising after following injectable fillers such as Juvederm is typical and generally resides in a few days. I would encourage you to ice the injected area during the first 36 hours following the injection. Also, you may want to consider taking Arnica Montana (if you have no specific contra-indications to do so) to help expedite resolution of the bruising.
Best,

Redness Post Injection of Fillers....
This sounds "normal". Swelling and bruising after injections is typical. I always recommend icing the areas for the first 24 to 48 hours intermittently to help reduce these side effects. Arnica tablets seem to help as well with this type of recovery. Bruises typically will last 7 to 10 days. The color of the bruise will also change as the days pass, so do not be alarmed. If you notice a progression in tenderness, increase or spread of...

Red Bruise at Juvederm Injection Site - Will This Go Away?
Sound like the normal reaction. But over the internet can not advise. Why have you not returned to the injecting doctor? You MAY have a break in sterile technique and the start of cellulitis to infection. Please see the injector. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski

Bruising is a common side effect from Juvederm
Juvederm is very thick and often causes a bruise at the injection site. I always remind my patients to refrain from aspirin, devil, alleve, vitamin E, or any medication that causes bruising before the procedure. Ice and arnica after the procedure always shortens the length of time of the bruising.

Juvederm and redness to injection site
A small amount of bruising is common after Juvederm I would not be alarmed this soon after the injection. Some ice packs to the area may relieve some of the redness and swelling. You may get some bruising to the area when the redness subsides and this is normal as well. I do instruct my patients to go off of aspirin and aspirin containing products prior to injection to reduce the chances of bruising. If this does not resolve I would contact your surgeon and he/she should be able to answer...

Brusing after Juvederm injection
Bruising is a known potential side effect with any type of injection, including Juvederm injections. If that is what you have it should resolve in 1-2 weeks. If you have a lot of pain or swelling discuss it with your injecting doctor as this may be a sign of an infection.

Some bruising following injection of Juvederm or other fillers is quite normal. Bruising can vary from none following injection to deep bruising depending upon multiple factors including your hormonal status, medication use and injection technique. Bruises will typically appear red after 24 hours then may go to deep purple after 48 hours. They then will continue to lighten to light purple or magenta then green and yellow and disappear.
