I've had my lips filled 4 times now & during my appt yesterday (new injector this time) I had significant bleeding. With each place she poked the needle, (she was aggressive with it) I could feel blood continually pour down my face from that spot. We had to keep wiping it. One spot she poked made me bleed so much that it poured into my mouth &stained my teeth with blood. She wouldn't wait for the blood to stop before injecting again. I bled all over her mirror. I've never had this happen before.
Answer: Bleeding with lip fillers There may be some bleeding with lip injections. Significant bleeding can be due to many factors. If you're concerned, I recommend following up with your injector about your treatment. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. I hope this helps.

Answer: #Fillercomplications thats very unusual. to bleed so much that you stained your teeth and the mirror? if this is the first time it has happened then perhaps use extra precaution the next time. if its a repeat experience then its best to have just a simple blood test done to make sure your clotting mechanisms are fully functional. I do lip reconstructive surgeries and I have never had a patient bleed so heavily unless they are on blood thinners (plavix, Brilinta, coumadin, heparin, ASA etc). and this is just filler injection. very strange

Answer: Bleeding after Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella) This can vary, but usually there isn't significant bleeding with lip injections. I recommend injections with cannulas to limit bruising and swelling. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. Best, Dr. Emer

TREATMENT FOR YOU

Answer: Bleeding with lip injection There are both patient factors and injector factors that can affect how much you bleed during the procedure. Generally speaking, there is very little blood loss with lip injections in most cases. You should avoid products or medication that can potentially thin your blood prior to the procedure. These include fish oil, aspirin, ibuprofen, and other NSAIDS. There are also medical reasons why some patients are more prone to bleeding than others. However you would typically be aware of these conditions prior to lip injections due to more than normal bleeding with minor cuts. These patients might also have a history of easy bruising. Patients with bleeding disorders generally have been diagnosed earlier in life. It sounds like you have had some injections that did not bleed as much as your last treatment from the new injector. This indicates that technique was possibly involved. I would recommend that you go to an experienced injector. Although bruising and bleeding can occur from any injector, what you have described is not typical. Icing the lips prior to treatment can also help reduce bruising and bleeding. Best wishes!

Answer: Bleeding and injection Bleeding can be caused by several things including high blood pressure, taking blood thinners like aspirin or an anti-inflammatory agent like Motrin. It can also occur in highly vascular areas like the lips. I can't tell you for sure why it happened in your case.
