Can this cause bruising or make my bruise worse after juvederm lip injections?

anon705991
I had 1 syringe of juvederm injected into my lips yesterday. At my appointment i saw a few spots on my lips start to get dark & today, they are progressively getting worse. i am also swollen. My doctor told me to take ibuprofen to help with the swelling.. but after doing research I see that ibuprofen can actually lead to more bruising? i am also a green tea drinker & take omega-3/vit E daily. I have stopped them all, but when is it ok to continue them without risking a worsening to my bruising?
