I'm 18 but it's really important that my parents don't know I'm getting lip injections. I will be away from them for about 24 hours after the injections. I'm wondering if 24 hours is typically when a majority of the swelling and bruising goes down? I'm only getting a 1/2 syringe too so it's not like I'm getting a lot. I'm also wondering if it would be helpful for me for reducing the chances of bruising by getting even less then my half syringe and going back another time later to get the rest.

Answer: Swelling and Bruising After Lip Augmentation Thank you for your question. In general, even a very small amount of Juvederm used for lip augmentation can cause noticeable postprocedure swelling and bruising, which is considered normal. Swelling usually peaks 48-72 hours after injection. Icing is beneficial for up to 48 hours after the procedure. Arnica is helpful for minimizing normal postprocedure swelling and bruising. Please keep in mind that, even with a small amount of Juvederm, it will take 2 weeks for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising to resolve and to see your final result. Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan. Hope this helps and best wishes!

Answer: Bruising and swelling after Juvederm Thank you for your question plasticsurgerymaybe. Juvederm is a filler that can be used to enhance the lips. Bruising and swelling may occur after a filler treatment and can last up to two weeks, sometimes more. For my patients I recommend avoiding blood thinning medications such as aspirin a few days before and after a treatment to reduce the risk of bruising. Application of cold compresses before and after a treatment will decrease any swelling. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
