Whenever an injectable filler procedure is performed, bruising and swelling can happen. If you had a temporary gel filler, as long as the skin is simply bruised, this should heal without incident within several weeks. Wishing you well! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hi Mimi_121,

It is advised to wait a full two weeks to allow swelling and bruising to subside. If after two weeks you are still experiencing these symptoms, I would reach out to your provider for a follow up.
