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: Swelling Hello and thanks for your question. Swelling and bruising can both be normal after any injectable treatment however to be on the safe side if you have any concerns you should contact your injector immediately. Always seek a qualified and experienced practitioner, best wishes

Answer: Risk of bruising with Dermal Fillers! Hello PlasticAndrew, Anytime an injection is done, there is a risk of bruising. This is why I suggest patients discontinue blood thinning medications or supplements about 2 weeks before the injection. Arnica is also something that can be taken prior to, and/or post-injection to help alleviate bruising and swelling. Unfortunately bruising cannot be predicted, but there are things that may help prevent it. Hope this helps for future injections! Best of Luck! Dr. Thomas E. Kaniff

Answer: Is this bruising normal after Volbella injections? Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately bruising is not uncommon after lip injections due to the thin nature of the tissues and extensive amount of muscle. Initial bruising may worsen over a day or two but then starts to resolve. You can help speed resolution by using cold compresses for the first two days after treatment, arnica montana and bromelain supplementation, and warm compresses after two days. Hope this helps.

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.
