Thank you for your question. Apply a cold compress to the area for 10 mins on 10 mins off as much as possible for 3 days. All the best,
Technically after 72hrs, icing will not do much in terms of reducing swelling/bruising. Bruising and swelling is very common to this area after filler and will resolve after 5-7 days.
Icing is important for the first 48-72 hours after filler injections to sensitive areas, regardless of whether it is performed with the traditional sharp needle technique or with the bruiseless microcannula technique. I personally dont treat tear troughs / eye hollows with Juvederm as I have found that it can often lead to a "swollen" or "doughy" look even weeks to months after the injections -- this is thought to be the case because Juvederm is more hydrophilic, or draws more water, than the other Hyaluronic acid fillers.

Dear Adelaide781, I responded to your post of two days ago, but now having this picture available on your eight day old post it looks like it certainly is a result of your Juvederm. Unless you are prepared to live with that for the next four months, I would ask to have the hyaluronidase...
Your concern is understandable. However, swelling and bruising are common side effects after lip injections, especially within the first 24 to 48 hours, and they will subside. You can minimize bruising by not consuming certain ingredients that cause bruising such as green tea, ginger, and...
