I had radiesse injections put in around my mouth and it looks like blood pooled on one side in that area. Is this permanent? I'm very nervous! This happened six days ago and it is not getting better from what I can tell. Is there anything I can do so it will heal faster or should I go see a doctor? I have been putting arnica gel on that area. Can you please help. Best Deirdre

Answer: Bruising after Radiesse in nasal labial fold, is this going to go away?
Typically bruising does go away but it can take a couple of weeks, especially if there was a hematoma (collection of blood under the skin) which it appears to be. Warm compresses may help at this point. It's always a good idea to let your provider know what is going on. They may want to see you too.

Answer: Bruising After Radiesse
Hello Deirdre, Bruising is a common side effect with all injectables. The best solution at this point is allowing a little bit of time to pass. In the next week, your body will start to heal itself and your bruise will begin to change from blue to green to yellow and eventually fade. To prevent bruising at your next visit it is best to avoid aspirin, NSAIDs, Vitamin A, and fish oils at least a week prior to treatment. You should consult with you physician before stopping any medications.
