Had smokers lines filled yest. RN said she had to do my lips also. Now around my mouth/lips are bruised badly & have spider veins sprouting from my lips. Is that normal procedure & more important are the veins going to go away. It looks horrible! How long should I continue to ice?

Answer: Lip Filler Swelling Thanks for your question.Bruising and swelling following the injection of fillers in the lips is common. That being said, you mention some unusual treatment - i.e. injecting your lips as a consequence of injecting fine lines. I would recommend following up with the nurse who injected the area or contacting a local expert injector - i.e. Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dermatologist, Plastic Surgeon - to review your results and provide you with advice.Thankfully filler does go away on its own and this is likely not permanent but certainly not a desirable outcome in the interim.

Answer: Lips and lines 1 week post-op It is hard to know without seeing a picture. You should see a complete reduction of bruising and swelling after the first two weeks. Usually after 24 hours, you can use warm compresses to help the bruising reabsorb more quickly. Best of luck and don't get discouraged if you don't see the results you were expecting immediately.
