2 days ago I had Voluma injected in my nose bridge as well as on the sides of the nose/nostrils to fill in the natural indents that were there. I have had intermittent, random pain sometimes on the left side, maybe in the nostril, but no where else. Could that be a sign of blood being restricted to that side of my nose?

Answer: Skin necrosis is rare after injection of filler If you are concerned that you have skin necrosis, you should see your physician immediately.Skin necrosis is a very rare side effect of Voluma, and would only occur if the filler was causing compression of a blood vessel in the area it was injected. Signs of skin necrosis include changes in skin color (a blue, dusky, or dark hue in that area), pain, and “breakdown” of the skin. It’s worth noting that after any surgical procedure, cigarette smoking significantly increases the risk of necrosis.As I tell everyone, the most important decision you make after deciding to undergo a cosmetic procedure is choosing your Dermatologist. An experienced physician who performs these procedures on a daily basis will provide the best results with the fewest side effects.

Answer: Vascular occlusion symptoms include pain, skin changes Just having pain after an injection in you nose is not likely impending necrosis. Pale skin, followed by bluish tint in areas well beyond the area injected is needed too. It then will turn dark, sometimes black as the skin is dying. A superficial infection can occur too.
