Blue Veins on my Lip After Juvederm Injections

Swelling, even excessive, in the lip after fillers can occur and usually resolve spontaneously. However, pain and congested veins need to be evaluated so have your doctor examine you and the mucosa and gumline inside to be sure there is no circulation problem.

It is possible that the veins in your lips are more prominent because of the increased filler in the tissues.  If this is the case, it should improve with time.  It is also possible that the Juvederm was injected to superficially - this can appear as a bluish discoloration.  If this is the case, then there is a product that can be injected to make the Juvederm and Blue discoloration disappear.  I advise you to follow-up with the doctor that treated you to determine the cause.  Good Luck.

It is possible to see an increase in fine blood vessels around the lips and nose after injections of any filler. There seems to be an increase of blood flow and generation of new blood vessels or just dilation of the vessels after the treatment either due to inflammation or stretch of the tissues. They tend to become less prominent as time passes.

It is also possible to treat the vessels with laser or IPL treatments if they are a concern to you 3 to 4 weeks after the treatment with the filler.

Regarding the other symptoms you are having the are not very common after treatment with a filler and would recommend to return to your doctor for further evaluation.

Good luck!
