I got restylane lips yesterday,I swelled A LOT straight after,later I started throwing up,have had a headache since.The injector said I got stomach flu & it was not related.But my lips are so pale & have white spots.Theres no pain & swelling has gone down,but I'm nervous something is wrong.My lip line on upper lip has vanished & is uneven & turns white when I touch it.Can you please explain what would happen if I got necrosis & if I should be worried,how long before I am safe from complications?

Hi @Tranc2400! Dermal fillers do not cause xanthelasma. Please consult a dermatologist who can suggest a treatment plan for you. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
I use a combination approach with cannula injections to limit complications. Its best to do small amounts of injection over time to limit swelling. Best, Dr. Emer.
