Is Bruising Normal 1-2 Weeks Post Radiesse?

With any filler there is a chance of bruising, however it is uncommon.  To help prevent bruising in the future, you may want to consider taking Arnica Montana and refraining from taking Aspirin and Motrin products two weeks prior to your injections.  You have not posted a picture, so it is impossible to comment on your case specifically.

 

Good Luck.

Every patient has a unique reaction to Radiesse, and
any other dermatological filler for that matter. So, it is nearly impossible to
predict how your body will respond to a treatment beforehand. Bruising after
Radiesse is not unheard of and should not be the cause of major alarm should
the bruising be relatively minimal and short-lived. In any case, Aspirin-like
products can cause increased bruising. I would advise consulting with the
doctor who performed your treatment to ensure everything is progressing as
planned and that your bruising is not a serious concern. 

 

If bruising occurs after a Radiesse injection, it is likely to last up to one week.  In more severe cases, it is possible to last up to 2 weeks, but this is uncommon.   In the future, there are a few things you can do to avoid bruising in the future.  1.) Avoid any blood thinning medications such as Ibuprofen, aspirin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, etc.  2.) Visit a board certified facial plastic surgeon, plastic surgeon or dermatologist that uses microcannulas to inject fillers.  A microcannula is a blunt tip needle that decreases the likelihood that a vessel will be hit during injection (which would lead to bruising).  3.) Try taking Arnica Montana or Bromelian before and after treatment.   Many people take these supplements to reduce inflammation and bruising.  I hope this information helps!
