How long does bruising last for after dermal fillers?

Doctor's Answer

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
