Bruising after Juvederm - when will this nasty bruising go down, it has spread onto my skin and it's so embarrassing. (photos)

Lips are a very vascular area. Therefore, the chances of bruising are higher there after injections. Bruising and swelling can sometimes take up to 1-2 weeks to completely resolve. In the future, you might consider to take a homeopathic solution such as Arnica and ice the first 24-48hrs to speed up the healing process. Good Luck.

Dear Mistym81~It is normal for the bruising and swelling to get worse over the first couple days after injection with Juvederm, but after that it should improve daily.  Bruising and swelling can last up to two weeks after injection. As previously mentioned, if the bruising is worsening or painful, you should follow-up with your injector immediately to make sure you are not having some kind of issue related to a blood vessel blockage.For normal bruising and swelling, you can take arnica and bromelain supplements over the counter. These supplements are available at most organic food stores.Best wishes,Amy Hsu
