This was my first time getting fillers of any kind. I wasn't told that taking fish oil would possibly increase bruising (which I take daily, and even last night) the bruising through out the 2nd day is getting worse and starting to spread above my lip.The bruised area the doctor went back into to add some more and wasn't as gentle, or maybe there is just too much. After leaving I noticed a small lump on the side where she added more so I began to massage it away. Is this normal?!It's worrying me
Answer: Post filler swelling It is common to have some lip swelling after filler injections and the degree of swelling depends on each patient, the product used and the injection technique. Similar is true for the bruising.I would suggest that you contact the doctor that did the injections and have your lips looked at.I hope that helps and best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm Dear MakeupGirlie25, Swelling after lip injections is very common. Swelling after any procedure tends to peak around day 2 or 3, and then get better from here. The lumps that you feel are also common, and tend to soften over the next week or so. I would return to the surgeon who injecteed it if you continue to have concerns. Good luck!

Answer: Swelling and Bruising after Lip Filler While dermal fillers in the lips are exceeding safe when injected by properly trained physicians, there are always possible side effects. Some possible side effects of are:1) Bruise2) Lump or bump3) Over filling4) Injury to surrounding facial structures (eye is injecting near it)5) Asymmetries 6) Vascular compromise7) Infection8) Inflammatory reaction It can take up to 2 weeks for swelling a bruising to resolve. If you can appreciate a gradual improvement, then I would be patient. It will slowly get better. If it is getting worse or not improving, then I would have it seen by your injector. Regardless, you should have an examination 2 weeks after your injections. Anytime you have an injection, there is a risk of a bruise. I inject fillers with a blunt tipped microcannula instead of a needle to decrease the risk of a bruise. If you develop a bruise I would: 1) Take the supplement Arnica Montana 2) Cold compress for 2 days 3) Switch to warm compress after 2 days. The warm compressed with help the bruise resolve.I hope this helps. In looking at your pictures, I believe you are normal swelling and bruising after lip injections with a needle. I would be patient and communicate your concerns with your injector.I hope this helps.

Answer: Juvederm You seem to be having a normal reaction to fillers in the lips. Fish oil is definitely a potent blood thinner that can make the swelling worse. For some patients, I will prescribe a short course of steroids to help the edema to resolve more quickly. Either way, it should be gone in a few days and you will like your results!
