5 days post op Juvederm in my lips. Should I be concerned about bruising getting worse? (photos)

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear your unhappy with your lip injection. At 5 days your still swollen and it can be asymmetrical, esp. with an underlying bruise. You did not mention what type of juvaderm filler was used or the amount injected. The swelling could last for another 1-2 weeks. You need to discuss your treatment with your physician. Discontinue the aspiroin and use warm compresses.   Rest assured if the asymmetry persists after 2 weeks then it can easy be reversed. Best Wishes

Bruises do change color and shape as you heal. By applying traumeel cream to a bruise post injection you can decrease bruising. Avoid aspirin for 10 days prior to injection and a week afterwards. Tylenol is a good treatment for any post injection discomfort. Avoid hot places after an injection and apply cold compresses 10 mins on and 10 mins off. Hope this helps.  

If you are concerned about bruising after fillers, I would generally avoid taking aspirin or other NSAIDS both before and after your treatment.  However, given the numbness and pain your are experiencing, your Doctor may have some other concerns about your condition.  In situations of impending necrosis after fillers, aspirin and warm compresses are definitely indicated.  This is a situation much better handled in person than over the internet; I would definitely keep in close contact with your injecting Physician.
