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 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.
