I always have bruising after a fill as well. Don't feel a thing during the fill, but the next day, I have bruising, and it hurts then for about a week. Nothing too major, just discomfort.

After my little unfill last week, I had a teeny bruise.

It's pretty normal.

A bruise is merely blood collected under the skin...You figure the large needle they use it's bound to cause bleeding. Unfortunately the doc does not have x-ray vision, you can never tell when you are hitting a capilary which can cause a tiny amount of bleeding which will leave you bruised. It's nothing to worry about and will go away.

Thanks For The Information - You All Helped.. Congrats On Your Results Also

Ya, funny, that has never happened to me until my last fill. So I'd say I must have been lucky otherwise. It will go away though.

hi, you really do not feel the fills?????? i am so scared of that! thanks, nancy

Nancy, I have had 2 fills and only felt slight pressure. It is a breeze,in and out in 10 min. or less(for the fill )

Nancy - I've had six fills - Driver describes the sensation well -- it's a slight pressure.

As for bruising, that happened to me once after my 5th fill - the size of a quarter - like ibshell76.
