Does the likelihood of getting a lip hematoma decrease over time with continued lip filler treatments? (Photo)

Bruising after fillers can vary depending on technique and patient characteristics.  One can never have a 100% chance to avoid any bruising; however, significant bruising should be avoided with good technique and patients avoidance of blood thinning agents.   Avoid ibuprofen, aspirin, alcohol, vitamin E and fish oil supplements prior to fillers.  Cold compresses prior to and after treatment may reduce the risk of bruising.  It is a good idea to see an expert physician who does their own injectables; sometimes it may cost a little more but is generally worth it in the long run.

Swelling and bruising are common with fillers on the lips as there are many blood vessels in this area. I suggest cannula injection to limit issues.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and photographs. Lip augmentation with fillers always cause minor bruising and swelling. The chances of getting Hematoma are very low unless the procedure is being done by an inexperienced injector. Please consult with an expert for an evaluation. All the best!
