Hi, I got 1cc of Juvederm Volbella in my lips about 36hrs ago. Is this normal bruising (swelling has gone but the bruise has gotten much darker) or should I be worried or is this normal?

Answer: Lip Swelling/Bruising After Fillers Such as Juvederm or Restylane -- Reverse With Hyaluronidase It is common to get swelling and bruising after needle injections of fillers into the lips. It is not normal to have irregularities or severe swelling. If you are unhappy you should speak to your physician and have the area injected with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that reverses the hyaluronic acid filler. For the next injections, consider Restylane Silk with cannula injection, this technique will limit the pain, swelling or bruising after the filler placement. It often takes up to two weeks for swelling to subside on its own. Find an expert in filler injections for your future treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.
