How do you know if you have recieved a hematoma vs necrosis immediately after a juvederm plus injection in the lip. There was very little Juve injected (aprox 0.2 ml) in center of one side top lip and immediate purple and black filled sack formed underneath injection site, very swollen and dark in color.
