Necrosis? After Juvederm injection to lips, they're white & purple. Everything around my lips & cheeks is puple & hurts! (Photo)

Russianhunny
After juvederm to lips, everything around my mouth and on my cheek turned purple. Im in pain, lips on fire, Swollen, every injection site had a dark purple spot. The dr said it was caused by my swelling constricting a blood vessel. He massaged my face and around my lips. I can see beginning of ulcers, mini craters, Lumps on the area that turned purple. Dr said it was all superficial but the right side of the face is droopy. Are they not telling me the truth, I need to know what really happened?
