I had 1 injection of the product on marionette lines near my mouth. I had a downturned mouth look. One side is very bruised and swollen. The other only slightly. Is this normal?

Answer: Downturned mouth Sometimes a blood vessel breaks. The bruising may last up to 5 days. BUT that's not what strikes me in this picture. I always add Juviderm on either side of the lip horizontally prior to filling marionette lines. The heaviness down below with none above will cause a downturned mouth. Symmetry and balance on a face is the key.

Answer: Juvederm XC Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph. Sorry that you are having some concerns about your postprocedure appearance. Some swelling and bruising is normal after treatment with Juvederm. Icing for up to 48 hours after the procedure is beneficial. Arnica is also helpful for minimizing normal postprocedure swelling and bruising. Application of makeup can be done to conceal any bruising. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to allow for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising to resolve and to see your final result. At that point, if you continue to have any concerns, please be sure to see your injector for an in-person reevaluation in order to determine the best course of action. Hope this helps and best wishes!
