Filler added to my lips (Volbella) 4 days ago. A vbeam was used to help defuse the the large bruise on the bottom lip. (Photo)

Bruising after fillers can definitely happen as there are lots of blood vessels in the lower face and especially around the lip area. These resolve within few days to few weeks and should not leave any permanent changes.I hope that helps and best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Any injections run the risk of bruising.  The lips are obviously quite vascular and bruise easily.  Thankfully, this is a self limited process and should fully resolve in about 2 weeks (depending on how you individually usually bruise).  Did you start the Arnica the night before the injectios and ice after for a day?  These can help minimize bruising.  Also, you can ask about using blunt tip cannula technique for injection.  I have yet to see any bruising from my lip injections using this technique.  It can't be used for everyone in every instance, but for the majority of lip augmentations, it is an excellent technique at diminishes the risk of bruising.  All the best!

The posted photo demonstrates the risks in filler injections that cause a sub dermal bleed. Where you on any aspirin or blood thinners? It will take 2 weeks to resolve. Sorry.
