Tingling and burning? Thanks for this important question! Some people do experience more tingling and burning with lip injections and others. However, this can also be a sign of a cold sore. Therefore, I think it’s important that you check with your injector to make an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan!Good luck! Dr. Aldo

The tingling you are experiencing may be part of normal healing, but it is best to follow up with your injector to be sure.  It can take up to two weeks for swelling and bruising to resolve after lip injections.  Some patients find using Arnica and Bromelain supplements to be helpful.

Thanks for the question and photos. It is not uncommon for bruising to appear several days later and somewhat distant from the original injections.  The tingling is not uncommon as well.

Ryan Welter, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photographs.  It is not normal to have tingling and burning one week following injections to the lips.  Bruising and swelling take approximately 7-10 days to resolve.  My advice is to follow up with your injector for an evaluation.  Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for the question. Tingling sensations are not typical post injection. However, this may just be part of wound healing. Follow-up with your aesthetic practitioner for further evaluation.
