Can necrosis occur in other areas away from the injection site? (Photos)

June 5, 2018
Asked By:australia246 in Brisbane, AU

5 days ago I received 1.5ml on each side of fillers in the outer area of my crows feet. First time but from a very experienced injector who knows my face well. Nothing in the tear troughs. For the past two days my eyes have been red and itchy and my upper lash line is slightly discoloured. Bluish purple. No skin blanching or pain anywhere. Please forgive me if this is a panic for no reason; Can necrosis occur in other areas like this or should I just take an antihistamine!
