Injector too harsh? Hematoma, bruise spreading and swelling after Juvederm on lips. (photos)

Asked By:mwc520 in Birmingham, AL

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.
