I got Juvederm lip fillers yesterday and the needle bust a blood vessel. How long will this take to heal? (Photos)

Question

I've added two photos so bruising can be seen

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

I'm sorry this happened. Bruising can be typical and may last 1-2 weeks. Icing, arnica and cold compresses may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. This will resolve given a few more days. If you have any other concerns, please follow up with your injector.

Karen86, bruising is normal following a lip injection treatment. Typically this will last anywhere between a week to 2 weeks. You can ice and take Arnica to help it heal quicker.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

I'm sorry to hear of the issues from your Juvederm treatment.  The broken blood vessel should gradually resolve over approximately two weeks.
