I tell my patients that bruising after fillers is typically the rule and not the exception. You may want to try arnica and ice to help reduce the bruising. Also, I tell all my patients to use Kat Von D concealer...her makeup line has some of the best concealers out there! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks for your question. Bruising following fillers can happen, as with anything injected into the skin. I wonder why the touch-up was done so quickly following the first injection, as the original filler probably still had not time to fully settle. As noted, bruising is normal, but as noted by...
