Does Chin Filler Bruise?
Chin filler is one of the injectable filler treatments growing in popularity due to the way it can help slim the jawline. It is also an alternative to chin implant surgery for those who want minor corrections versus permanent, dramatic correction. Patients tend to want to understand the side effects of the procedure. Let’s look at a commonly asked question, “Does chin filler bruise?”
Any filler injection—regardless of the injection site—has the potential to bruise. While figures widely vary on how many people bruise following filler injections, the average comes out to under half of patients bruise after any dermal filler injection. Bruising usually resolves on its own within two weeks.
There are ways to help prevent bruising before and after your procedure. First, skip caffeine on the day of your procedure. This can increase the rate of your blood flow and make bruising more likely. Also, NSAIDs such as Aspirin or ibuprofen can worsen or make it more likely that you will bruise. Skip them in the days leading up to and after your injections.
Additionally, you may request a cannula instead of a needle because this causes less trauma to the skin. It should be noted that certain medical conditions or prescriptions can increase the risk of bruising. To learn more about and schedule a consultation, call us at 941-923-1736.
