Bruising after juvederm lip injections (photo)

Thank you for your question. It is common to have swelling, lumps and bruising after lip augmentation with Juvederm. This can take up 2 weeks to resolve. You can ice your lips to help reduce any swelling and massage the lumps to help smooth them out. If you are unhappy with your final results you can have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. Best of Luck!

This can happen to anyone, but it is less with experienced injectors. Bruising can last up to 10 days. We offer a laser treatment to help eradicate it in 2 days. Ice might have helped but I don't see much difference with using it. Use arnica orally to help too.

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is very normal to have some bruising and swelling after filler injections, especially those placed in the lips. Bruises can show up right after the injection or not until the next day. Icing after injections can help as well as taking arnica. To minimize bruising next time there are certain things to avoid to reduce the chance of significant bruising such as alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen and fish oils. However, they can even happen if you take every precaution. It usually will take around 2 weeks for all your swelling and bruising to completely resolve and have the final look of your filler.
