Does St. Johns Wort Cause Bruising After Juvederm Injections?

Lisa1294
I am thinking about getting Juvederm injections in my tear troughs. One thing I forgot to mention to my doc is that I have been taking St. John's Wort for 6 months now. Will this cause excessive bruising after Juvederm injections? If so, how long do I need to stop taking it before injections? I don't want to stop taking it for more than a few days since it works wonders for my mood. :)
