What Should I Do To Get Rid Of A Bruise On My Lip?

Bruises on the lips are nothing to worry about after getting dermal fillers, as they will disappear in a few days. However, you can accelerate the healing process by applying icepacks over the facial skin. This constricts the blood vessels, thereby slowing down the transport of inflammatory mediator chemicals that cause swelling – ultimately reducing the inflammation.

Although swelling is inevitable with lip filler, try the following tips to hide and reduce swelling:

  • Apply ice to the area after treatment. Remember to place it in a tea towel to avoid direct ice contact with your lips.
  • Drink lots of water – keeping fully hydrated allows your body to mobilize fluids, rather than store them in single places (swelling) staying hydrated keeps the flow of fluid around your body.
  • Avoid rigorous exercise, this can increase the chances of swelling.

Is It Better To Ice Or Heat A Bruise?

Both methods are used for accelerating the healing process. However, heat application dilates the blood vessels, which help the body’s immune cells remove the inflammatory mediator cells from the site quickly—on the other hand, applying ice over the face will cause the blood vessels in the area to shrink, thereby restricting the entry of inflammatory mediators. As a result, the extent of swelling is reduced. Hence, If the idea is to reduce swelling, ice packs are best. On the other hand, if you wish to get rid of bruises quickly, heat application is the best way to go.
