I had perlane yesterday (about 24hrs now) I had 2 injections as discussed with my Dr The R cheek was filled more than the other because of the amount of acne scarring I've been reading all the risks associated and obviously the scariest one is necrosis How long does it take for one to spot it? What are the earlier symptoms? I've been having pain and my cheeks are quite swollen specially the right one. The Dr told me Drs are able to spot it straight away after the injections. I'm worried

How to Spot Necrosis After a Dermal Filler?
Necrosis from vessel occlusion typically appears when fillers, Perlane, Restylane, Juvederm or Radiesse are injected in the nasolabial folds, Marrionette lines or lips. Fillers into the Cheeks are less likely to have this issue. Your photos show bruising but any evaluation and recommendations should come from the MD that did your Perlane Cheek Augmentation and you should consider seeing him/her for follow up.

Necrosis is extremely unlikely with injection on the cheek.
I appears from you photo that you just have some bruising following your procedure. If you are concerned, please check with the doctor who did your treatment.
