I have had my lips done with Juvederm twice, 0.5mL and 1.0mL by the same nurse. Everytime I bruise badly, especially on the top lip and the bruise would spread onto my upper lip. Swelling goes down on the 4th day and bruises take about 12 days to totally disappear. (see photos)I've taken arnica prior injections for 1 week and it still does not seem to make a difference. I'm not sure whether it is because the nurse that injects it was too harsh and I should find a new clinic.
Answer: Bruising from Lip injections There is a lot of filler placed in to your lip, which maybe the reason that you are having so much swelling. I would suggest that you use another experienced injector, who may use another technique like the cannula, which may cause less bruising. Also using less product may help as well, more is not always better, and your body may not be able to tolerate too much product all at once. I would still continue your arnica. Also adding Quercetin- which is a supplement that can help with swelling. It can be purchased at whole foods.

Answer: Bruising and swelling after Juvederm Thank you for your question mwc520. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to enhance the appearance of the face. Bruising and swelling may occur with any injection. I recommend that my patient be prepared for it. Swelling can be reduced by applying cold compresses and we treat bruises with a laser as early as the day after the treatment. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
