This is my first time getting fillers, I had 1.5ml my lips are very swollen and purple. (Photos)

Question

Is this normal?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, bruising and swelling can be typical. It can take 1-2 weeks for final results. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. It is common to have some bruising and swelling after hyaluronic acid fillers, especially in the lips. It can take up to 2 weeks for this to resolve. You can apply cold compresses to your lips to reduce any swelling. Also, it advisable to avoid any NSAID’s before and after treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling. If this worsens or does not resolve in 2 weeks please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!
