I had juvederm injections 3 days ago. The bruising is still very bad. The doctor put in a lot of product into the vertical lines between the nose and lip and they are huge! Will this get better? It is the first thing you see on my face now!

Juvederm in Nasolabial Folds

Until at least two weeks pass, it is impossible to tell how much of what you are describing is Juvederm, and how much is simply swelling. Until this time, I recommend avoiding aspirin and alcohol, and perhaps trying the herbal supplement Arnica Montana. Ice can help reduce the swelling as well. Unfortunately, it just takes time. Good luck!

Everyone's response to injectible fillers is different. Some swell more than others and its important to allow this initial response to fade before making any decisions of revision. Wait a couple of weeks before making a decision. And always discuss these issues with your surgeon. We want to know about these reactions.
