How long did post Juvederm lip fillers bruising last? (photos)

Question

Lip fillers done with Juvederm yesterday for first time by my meticulous plastic surgeon... well I'm in love with the fullness but bruised terribly!! I did ice yesterday doing arnica by mouth too.. Wondering how long this last for others?? It looks like I got in a bar fight

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Bruising and/or swelling can last for 1-2 weeks after your injections. VBeam treatments, icing and arnica may give improvement. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Peterson Pierre, MD · Answer

Unfortunately, bruising is a known side effect from filler injections. At this stage, ice, Arnica by mouth and laser treatments can be very helpful. Typically, bruising will last 1-2 weeks. In the future, you may want to start Arnica the day before your injections and take note of any medications or supplements you may be taking that can cause bruising: aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, St. John's wort, etc.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

I am sorry that you bruised. It is common and not something to worry about. In terms of healing, it is going to depend on your body and whether or not you took anything such as aspirin or Advil prior to treatment. In general, most bruising resolves within a week. Keep up with the arnica. It does seem to help. Best of luck.

F. True Lansden, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Bruising after filler injections is entirely dependent upon the individual. Pre injection use of aspirin, Motrin, turmeric, ginkgo, or marijuana can predispose one to bleeding and bruising. Most bruises will resolve in one week, but severe bruises may take up to two weeks. Arnica and vitamin K creams may aid in the resolution.

Andre Berger, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question,
When it comes to dermal fillers in the lips, it can take up to two weeks for final results to become apparent. The lips are a very delicate characteristic and because your photos show bruising just one day after your procedure, I would not be concerned. Cold packs can help to reduce swelling and bruising in the lips. If your bruising does not subside after two weeks, I would contact your plastic surgeon for a follow-up visit.
  
Best of luck!
