Bruising after juvederm lip injections taking a long time to heal? (Photo)

hayleym13
9 days ago I got a syringe of juvederm injected into my lips for the first time. I understood that bruising was a normal side affect, however mine seems to be healing at an abnormally slow pace. I followed every instruction of not taking blood thinners for a week beforehand and I even took arnica tablets before and after. I have also been using warm compresses several times a day. I am starting to become worried that my bruising will not ever fully clear and that it could be the Tyndall effect.
