Hello CS
Thank you for your question. Bruising can happen after filler injections and will typically subside in 1 to 2 weeks. You can also consider arnica gel/ tablets to help with your recovery. Personally I will avoid the following to reduce the risk of bruising:
- NSAIDs
- Supplements (Vit E/ Omega 3 Fatty Acids/ Ginko/ Garlic)
- Alcohol
- Heat related activities
- Intense exercise
Do let your doctor know if there is significant bruising. It will also be helpful if you can show a picture of the bruises. Hope this helps!
Regards,
Dr Jiwei Wu
