White, light bruises after Juvéderm in lips. Is this normal? (Photo)

PinkyTDec 29, 2015
Noticing a light hue to these bruises developing on lower lip 2-4 hours after injection with Juvéderm Plus. Is this just a normal start to significant bruising (I did have to continue an occasional NSAID regimen before injection for a health issue) or does it indicate the dreaded necrosis. Few sites discuss how long after injection and what exactly "whitish" appearance really looks like.

Thank you for your question. You will likely need 1-2ml of Juvederm injected to have volumizing similar to Kylie Jenner. Please see your board certified Dermatologist for proper evaluation and management. Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

Your lips are still bruised and still swollen so it is impossible to assess the situation.  You need to have patience and wait two weeks to evaluate.  Best, Dr. Green
