Blood blister after lip filler, juvaderm - Do I need to be worried? (photo)

I routinely get my lips filled and have had some things happen but not this. I bled instantly right after this injection point and didn’t think much of it but also knew it wasn’t totally normal. I have sat under two sessions of LED lights, arnica, you name it. Do I need to be worried? Will this be a permanent purple color you see the horror stories of? Can I make it go away faster? Help please?!

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on the images, it does appear some additional waiting time may be prudent. If you are still unhappy with your appearance in two weeks, I would schedule a follow-up with your injector. It is possible you might like your result better if you remove a...
