Thank you for your question. Bruising after lip injections is very common and it will subside. If the bruising does not subside after a couple of weeks, feel free to follow up with your injector.

Yes, this can be typical and it will resolve in 1-2 weeks. Icing and arnica can help. I would wait a full 2 weeks before assessing results. Hope this helps

Bruising after injections is very common - especially around the lips.  I am not sure how long ago had the injection, but bruises will typically change during their resolution.  If the bruise has not resolved in 7 days I would return for an evaluation.

Thankyou for your question.  the bruising you ave is quite common with lip filler. It actually appears to be getting better reasonably fast. Don't worry nothing bad is happening.  Hope this helps

Hello and thank you for sending your pictures with your question. I see bruising above the lips and this is a common place to bruise after filler. It can be a variety of colors but as the bruise gets older it will darken then shrink and gradually resolve. This whole process may take a few weeks but arnica, ice and bromelain may all help the process. I would expect the bruise to get gradually smaller but if it is not following that timeline, please return to your injector for a followup. Best of luck.
Sincerely,
Valerie Schneider MD

Hi amydeegs, Bruising and swelling are normal after lip augmentation. However, if the area spreads fast or very painful, please go back to your doctor and have it assessed.I hope this helps,Justin Harper, M.D.
