The bruising is still there even though swelling is gone. Is this permanent? (Photo)

Hi Bebelocks. Swelling and bruising can take up to 14 days to subside after dermal filler injections. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Bruising can last up to 2-3 weeks if bad, I suggest a vascular laser like yellow laser or vbeam to remove this more quickly.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello,For this area, this type of bruising (even delayed) is not unusual.  Being pro-active in avoiding certain things prior to an injection treatment is helpful in reducing the risk or severity of a bruise.  However, a bruise is always a possibility.  Taking Arnica tablets will help resolve the bruise, and this product can be found at any health food store.  In addition, warm compresses this many days out from treatment is also a good option.  Finally, in our practice we offer two types of laser treatments that help fade the bruise much quicker than time alone.  This option can be used even on the lips safely with the right settings.  You may want to ask your injector for options for your bruise.Please see below link for further information.
