Should I be concerned that my lip is literally swollen and bruised bad? Lip fillers yesterday.

It is possible to develop bruising and swelling after injection of lip fillers, but I would say that your swelling and bruising is worse than most people would get.  I would not be concerned though.  Your swelling and bruising should resolve completely, but it could take a week or so for your appearance to improve.  Cold compresses to the area may help.

The swelling from a filler is unpredictable and some patients can get swelling days later.  Bruising can usually be avoided on the lips as long as you are not taking any blood thinners.  I would wait two weeks for the bruising and swelling to resolve. You can ice and if your physician has the V-Beam laser it will reduce the bruising from the procedure.  Please consult an expert in lip injections for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Anytime a patient has an injection, there is always a possibly of bruising and/or swelling. Typically swelling is the worst the first 48 hours. Bruises can last 7-10 days depending on how bad the bruise is. Although it is a risk there are a lot of way's preventing both bruising and swelling.
