First time lip filler and on day 3, bruise has spread from being only on the lip and now above my lip, is this normal? (photo)

It's very common to notice swelling and bruising after injectable fillers, particularly when they're used for lip augmentation. Typically these symptoms fade within the first week and you should see your final results by another week after that. Ice can help with the swelling, and many people see good results from using arnica for bruising.

Yes, bruising can be typical after lip injections and can last 1-2 weeks. VBeam treatments, arnica and icing can give improvement. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Jody.   It is quite normal to have bruising and swelling after Lip Augmentation with filler for at least 1 weeks.  Try to be patient, and stop picking!  Best of luck!
