Asked By:nbk3goq in Calabasas, CA

I got Juvederm injected into my lips 3 days ago. The injector hit a vessel and i instantly Bruised in that area. I iced all day yesterday and using arnica. The swelling has gone down a little. Its really sensitive along with my mustache area. It feels like there might be smalls cuts on the inside when talking so I’ve been applying neosporin to that area. My injector says I’ll be fine and to keep icing but I’ve been reading a lot about vessels getting hit and I’m worried.pictures were taken today
