I received Juvederm in my lips and nasal folds. I bruised pretty quickly after and the next day I look like this. I also have a couple of bumps in my mouth and on the side of my nose. I went to a reputable plastic surgeon with great reviews. I know some bruising is normal but is this normal?
Answer: Bruising following juvederm injections It is not uncommon to experience bruising after injection of soft tissue fillers. Bruising is easily managed with vascular laser treatments. Laser treatments help the bruises disappear quickly, safely, and effectively. I would strongly recommend to an injector who has this technology available should you wish to have a bruise treated. It is not too late to have your bruises treated if they are still prominent. Best of luck.

Answer: Extreme bruising after Juvederm in lips and nasal folds. Bruising can certainly occur following any sort of an injection. Thank you for your photos. Your bruising does appear excessive, but it should not affect your overall result.

Answer: Extreme bruising after JVD in lips and nasal folds? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry to hear of your bruising. Your picture demonstrates more bruising than is typical for smile line and lip treatments but anytime a needle is used the potential exists. I prefer to use cannulas in the smile lines as a known artery runs in the fold and if injured it can lead to significant side effects including extensive bruising. At this point there is nothing to do but wait and allow your body time to heal. You can accelerate the process with cold compresses, sleeping with your head elevated, arnica montana/bromelain supplements, and eating fresh pineapple and dark leafy green vegetables. Hope this helps.

Answer: Bruising Swelling and bruising is a normal part of getting injections. Some people may bruise or swell worse than others. Typically, most if not all should be gone within 2 weeks post injection. If you have concerns with remaining bruising, please return to your PS and have them evaluate you.
