Is this normal bruising after Volbella ? (photos)

Bruising and swelling of the lips after any lip injection are possible. The bruising will get lighter over the next week, and usually is completely gone by two weeks.
There are a few suggestions to help prevent lip bruising in the future;
Avoid any medication that will cause bruising, (Aleve, Aspirin, Motrin etc.) for 7-10 days before injection.Avoid Herbal supplement that will cause bruising, ( such as Echinacea, Vitamin E, Green tea, Fish oil etc.) for 3-7 days before injection.Apply cool packs to lips on/off for fifteen minutes right before injection.Start taking Arnica supplements one day before injectable treatment along with eating pineapples(bromelain) can be helpful.Avoid alcoholic beverages 24 hours prior to your visit.

You wont notice a huge difference. The syringe of Volbella is .6 cc - basically half of the volume with Juvederm Ultra. The amount of change is related to volume. You could have another syringe of Volbella placed in the lip.When a patient bruises in several areas, it is often due to having taken aspirin, advil or motrin, vitamin E, or fish oil within two weeks of the treatment. Things to speed up resolution of the bruise, include arnika, drink plenty of water, and applying warm compresses to the area.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Due to the thin tissues of the upper and lower lip any injections pose the risk of bruising.  Yours are not uncommon for the amount injected and you should see them disappear within a week to 10 days.  Hope this helps.

Wait two weeks to see the results and let the swelling and bruising go down, if you are unhappy then you can have it reversed.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Bruising is completely normal. It should be gone in a matter of days. Consult with your doctor for more information about this treatment.

Hello, thank you for your question and photo. Yes, absolutely.... Bruising is completely normal after fillers - especially in the lip area since it is so sensitive. Take some Arnica to help the bruising heal faster.
Best of luck!

Bruising is a normal potential side effect of any injectable. In terms of your results, Volbella is very subtle. More like a permanent lip gloss than a really plump look. For now, give your lips a couple of weeks to heal before judging whether or not you like the results. 

Thank you for
your question jmae156. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Volbella
is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to enhance the lips. With any injection bruising is possible. Bruising typically lasts 1-2 weeks and resolves on its own. In our office we treat our patients with a laser as early as the next day. This usually makes the bruise resolve in 1-2 days. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Thank you for your question and for submitting photos.  The lips are a very delicate and sensitive area, and it's not uncommon to experience some swelling and bruising after lip filler injections.  The swelling and bruising should resolve fully within 1-2 weeks.
Volbella is a wonderful product for fine lines, hydration, and adding subtle volume to the lips.  I would wait 2 weeks to assess your final response to your treatment.  If at that time you'd like to add more dramatic volume to your lips, I'd recommend you consider a different product - Juvederm or Restylane may be a better choice.  Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. Bruising after a lip enhancement is quite common, and depends on a number of factors.  Most patients will have a resolution of their bruising within 1-2 weeks. In regards to the volume, 0.6cc is a modest amount, and given Vobella was injected you may not see a major difference. For more volume, I would suggested either additional Vobella or a different filler such as Juvederm Ultra. All the best.
