Bruising only on 1 side of mouth after Juvederm (Photo)

Asked By:aak111 in North Carolina, NC

I have rec'd Juvederm 2x over the last 2 yrs to help w/ mild jowling. Both times I bruise extremely bad on one side. The injections have been performed by 2 different board certified plastic surgeons. I am not taking any blood thinners/aspirin prior to treatment. I ice the area immediately following along with warm compresses & arnica gel. It takes about 4-5 days b4 the dark bruising turns yellow. Is there anything else that can be done to prevent the bruising & why is it only on 1 side? thanks
