Why did my lips bruise from a mild kiss 3 months of having lip filler? (Photos)

Is it from the filler? I got my lips filled with Juvederm 3 months ago and hadn't kissed since having my lips done. Yesterday I had a mild kiss and my lips immediately bruised! That has never happened to me prior to getting lip filler so I'm confused especially being that this kiss wasn't intense at all. Could this be from the filler?

I'm sorry to hear of the issues that you are having since your filler treatment. While the reaction you described is uncommon, it can occur in some patients. When you are ill and start to experience swelling it is best to have it treated by your PCP. If desired the filler can be dissolved.
