Bumps: These can sometimes happen with lip filler. Most bumps are small resolving bruises or a build-up of the product. These can be massaged out or, in rare instances, we can use a small droplet of a dissolver.
Swelling: Swelling depends on multiple factors, and just because you didn’t swell one time does not mean you will not swell the next time you do a treatment. Sometimes an anti-swelling medication will be given after your injection. Major swelling typically lasts less than 4 days, while minor residual swelling can last 14-21 days. Yes, please ice them!
Bruising: Some people are predisposed to bruising. We suggest that you avoid vitamins, alcohol, and ibuprofen products to minimize the chance of bruising. Bruises can last 2-3 days or up to 2 weeks depending on the type and location. Arnica pills ($50) can be purchased during your visit to help heal bruises. Occasionally, we may suggest a follow-up laser appointment to help speed up more severe bruises.
