Hello and thank you for your question. While I understand necrosis is scary, these look completely normal and just like bruising. With filler in and around the lips, bruising is VERY common and unless the bruise is traveling down to your chin, or up to your nose it is normal. Good luck and I...

Bruising, swelling, sometimes discoloration, lumps, and bumps are normal side effects assuming proper injection. They should be gone in a matter of days. In general, if it continues to feel uncomfortable up to this time, consult your doctor to get a complete assessment or have the filler dissolved.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  It appears that your lip creases and border was overfilled with the Vobella, and after two months the best treatment would be to dissolve the product with hyaluronidase.  Hope this helps.
