Had filler two days ago in my upper and lower lips. Have major bruising on my right (upper) conner of the lip.

Question

Today when I noticed my lip in the conner is white. Should I be concerned about pigment loss or is it just to do with bruising. Very concerned. Thank you

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Swelling and bruising takes up to 2 weeks to improve.  If you are unhappy after, consider reversing the filler with hyaluronidase.  Cannula injections limit complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is common to have some bruising or swelling after injectables especially in the lips. Don't worry it won't go away shortly. Use Arnica gel in the area to expedite the healing process.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. Without seeing photos or evaluating your lips in person it is difficult to determine what the problem is. Injections of Restylane into the lips do not cause loss of pigmentation. Bruising should resolve within a week. See your injecting doctor in person for detailed evaluation and guidance.Good luck,
