What can I do to treat and prevent permanent damage? Please help!
Thank you for your question. From your photos, this appears to be a bruise which is common after lip augmentation. Typically, swelling and bruising can take up to 2 weeks to resolve. You can apply cold compresses to the treated area to help reduce swelling and bruising. It is also advisable to avoid any NSAID’s such as ibuprofen before and after treatment as they tend to thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising and swelling. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!
The lips are vascular and contain blood vessels. It is not uncommon to have some bruising. You can apply some arnica cream or witch hazel. Ultimately, you will be fine.
