I have permanent bruising on my upper lip from a lip injection that my doctor felt he messed up on so he gave me free laser treatment I went 3 times and nothing helps not even the cream they recommended to me. What can I do to get rid of this bruising that makes me feel awful about how I look?

Answer: Juvederm bruise Thank you for your question and photo. Bruising is a common risk and normal after fillers. It can last a few days up to two weeks. I would advise you to use arnica gel on the area and apply ice a couple times a day and it should resolve faster. Avoid sodium as it can cause swelling. Hope this helps.

Answer: Bruising versus Hyperpigmentation from Filler If the laser is having no effect on the bruising then it sounds as if this is hyperpigmentation from the injections and subsequent bruising. Lasers will not help make this pigmentation go away any faster. Over a period of weeks or months the pigmentation should resolve itself. I would just try to cover the area with makeup until it resolves. Best, Dr. Green
