I had Juvederm lip filler today, it blew straight up on the left side and bruised. Is this bruising a burst vessel? (photo)

Bruising after injectable fillers is not an uncommon occurrence and it appears that you have some bruising in your left upper lip.One thing that has helped to prevent bad bruising and also dissipate bruising faster are OcuMend gel patches.  They are hydrogel patches that you put on the face immediately after injections and can wear them for up to 6 hours at a time.  My patients have been so happy with them that they are starting to ask for them by name.  See if your injector has them available for you.

Thank you for your question about post injection expectations.  It is not uncommon to have swelling and bruising, especially immediately after treatment.  Swelling can last for 3-4 days, but should subside during the day as you are up moving around.  To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question! Bruises from lip fillers are more common than you might think. According to Juvéderm and Restylane package inserts, 85% of patients reported bruising after lip filler procedures. On average, most patients bruised for at least three days, but more than a quarter still had bruises a week later. It may be best to follow up with your physician injector to evaluate whether it's a bruise or an intravascular event. 
The five studies included in the package inserts covered over 700 patients and practitioners with fairly consistent results. Even the best injectors can’t prevent bruising in this area. Next time, it helps to address bruising beforehand: avoid NSAIDs, herbal supplements, alcohol and green tea before your appointment.

Hi. Unfortunately without medical examination I can not tell for sure whether you have the complications you think you do. However, from the images it does look like a routine bruise that will go down in a few days. Please do go back to your doctor and let him/her have a look to reassure you.

Thank you for your question. It is common to have some swelling and bruising after lip augmentation, which can take up 2 weeks to resolve. You can ice your lips to help resolve swelling and bruising. You can also take Arnica to help resolve bruising faster. If you are unhappy with your final results you can have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. Please follow up with injector in 2 weeks for an evaluation. Best of Luck!
