, can i still get lip fillers for the first time in 4 days? hi ! so i was planning on getting 1ml of filler just to smooth out the look of my lips, but i have this really weird bruising(?) on the inside of my lip? the only thing that i can think of that would have caused trauma to that area is kissing? but even then, it’s gone from two tiny spots to this massive thing on about 70% of my lip? i can’t get through to the practitioner at the moment so i just thought i’d ask here, is this a bigger cause for concern? should i wait until it’s healed??
