It's difficult to tell from your photos, but this should resolve in 1-2 weeks. In the meantime, VBeam treatments can reduce the bruising. I recommend you see an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. From looking at your photos it appears you have a small bruise. It is normal to have some bruising after lip injections and it should resolve in about 1-2 weeks. You can take Arnica to help reduce the bruise. If you still have any concerns please contact your expert injector. Best of Luck!

Hi There! 
It looks like you have a minor bruise. Probably nothing to worry about too much and will likely pass in a few days.   Arnica should help reduce the bruising.  Even though HA fillers in the lips will last about a year,  getting a refresher at about the half way mark will be helpful.   Keep us posted on your progress!
