I got juvederm lip injections a half syringe.At first there was no bruising or anything just a little swelling but a few hours later there's a bump/bruise under my upper lip. Is this because I didn't use any ice for the first few hours(I didn't feel like using it with such numb lips) how long until that bump/bruise goes away? Should it be gone in 24 hours and other than that does it look good

Answer: Bruising after Juvederm in lips This is normal and can take up to 2 weeks to go away. During the first 72 hours iced compresses can be used. Arnica gel to the area helps. I usually have patients take bromeline and arnica orally a couple of days before and several days after. But it looks fine.

Answer: Bruising After Juvederm Lip Injections Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Sorry that you are having some concerns about your postprocedure appearance. Swelling and bruising is normal after Juvederm injection, especially in the lips. Sometimes delayed bruising can appear and is also considered normal. Icing can help for up to 48 hours after the injection. Arnica is also beneficial for minimizing normal postprocedure swelling and bruising. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to allow normal postprocedure swelling and bruising to resolve and to see your final result. At that point, if you continue to have any concerns, please be sure to see your injector for an in-person reevaluation in order to best address your concerns and to determine the best course of action. Hope this helps and best wishes!
