I will be receiving filler in my cheeks and lips. I understand that the lips tend to swell and bruise more easily than cheeks and that many other factors are involved, but I was wondering whether the bruising was also dependent upon the specific brand of filler and/or the amount of filler injected?
Answer: Filler and Bruising Thank you for your question. Bruising is a common side effect with fillers. The lip area is particularly sensitive to swelling and bruising however there are ways to reduce bruising before you have your lips injected. By avoiding certain blood thinners like Aspirin, Advil, or red wine prior to your injection, you may reduce the risk of bruising. Some patients also bruise more easily than others. If you do experience bruising, it usually lasts a few days and in some instances a week after the treatment. The type and amount of filler might potentially effect bruising. Best regards.

Answer: Does bruising depend on the type of filler and/or amount used? Thank you for sharing your excellent question and congratulations on your decision to pursue cheek and lip fillers. Bruising largely depends on the method of filler placement and plastic surgeon skill rather than the amount or brand of filler used. There are methods to help minimize the risk and duration of common side effects so talk to your injector for advice. Best wishes!

Answer: Bruising During Dermal Filler Injection Thank you for your question! The type of dermal filler that is injected has little to no association with bruising that may happen, however, there are other factors that might play a role in this. Taking any blood thinning supplements such as aspirin, fish oil, ibuprofen, etc. within a few weeks of the injections may contribute to bruising. Also, whether you were injected with a needle or a microcannula can make a difference. Although using a microcannula doesn't completely eliminate the chance of bruising, it does decrease the chances by a fair amount. The injector's skill level and technique definitely plays a role in bruising as well. Lastly, some people simply tend to bruise easier than others. I hope you find this information to be helpful. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Filler and bruising Bruising is not dependent on the filler type. Bruising depends on the technique of injection as well as the patient's own skin. Patients who tend to have more superficial blood vessels (red in the face) or are getting more superficial injections are more prone to bruising. Hope this helps!

Answer: Does bruising depend on the filler or amount of filler used - mainly it's the injector Bruising is going to happen with all injectors some of the time. However, experienced injectors will use techniques such as cannulas to limit or eliminate the bruising risks. The filler has very little to do with the bruising. Areas injected such as lips will bruise more. If more injections are made because a larger amount of filler is used, the higher chance of a bruise. Reducing risk factors such as stopping aspirin 12 days prior as well as other NSAIDS, herbal supplements, and reducing alcohol intake for 3 days prior will reduce bruising risk too. Treating a bruise with arnica, ocumend, and Excel V laser reduces my patient's bruise duration to a few days.
