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.
