Hello and thank you for your question. We would always recommend seeking a face to face consult for the best advice and treatment plan however from the information you have provided no this could not be normal- please contact your original injector immediately. Always seek an experienced and qualified practitioner for any of these treatments. I hope that helps, best wishes

Swelling and bruising are common after lip injections and can persist up to two weeks.  Intermittent use of cold compresses may be helpful for the first two days.  If after two weeks you still have concerns, return to your injector for an evaluation.

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to see your bruising issue.  Although rare, a significant bruise can develop after lip injections and should be evaluated by your injector to discuss options at helping it to heal faster.  Reach out to yours for advice and to rule out any other issues.  Best wishes.

Thankyou for your question. Lip injections have a high risk of bruising and you definitely have a bruise . Nothing to be concerned about. I would ice the lip on and off for the next few days. This will help the bruise settle faster. hope this helps

Hello, thank you for the photo. It looks like you just have severe bruising post lip injections. This is nothing to worry about. If you take all natural Arnica tablets, it will make the bruising clear up faster.
Best of luck!
