What can be done about the swelling & bruises from Juvederm?

Bruising and swelling is typical post lip injection. Prior to treatment, blood thinners such as aspirin should be avoided (or at least discussed with your injector). Post treatment, patients may benefit from arnica and icing. Consult with your wife's injector as he or she knows the scope of the treatment and the specifics about your wife.  Injection technique may minimize bruising and swelling. So, ensure that you choose and experienced and expert physician injector.

There are many herbals and vitamins with anticoagulant properties
that may increase both the risk of bleeding during a procedure as well as the annoying bruising
that follows afterwards; oftentimes, these are overlooked.   Moving forward, please be advised that alcohol, oral vitamin E, nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs ("NSAIDs" e.g. ibuprofen), in addition to a number of
alternative therapies, including garlic, gingko,
ginger, ginseng, feverfew, fish oil and green tea, may promote bleeding and bruising.
This is particularly important prior to
injection of the thin skin of the eyelids and lips. Other herbals that may promote bleeding including: bilberry,
black current, bladderwrack, cayenne fruit, celery plant, da huang, danshen,
devil’s claw, dong quai, evening primrose seed oil, German chamomile, horse
chestnut, kava kava root, licorice, papaya, poplar, sweet closer, tamarind, and
willow bark.
