Restylane skin booster 13 hours ago. Pain and extensive bruising: skin necrosis? (Photo)

Question

Just had this down, very painful when she objects the left and the bruise is getting bigger. Still painful too. Is this skin necrosis? It's 4am here so I cannot contact the injector right now. Should I go to A&E?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Because you have redness, I recommend following up with a Doctor. If necessary, the filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase. Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photograph. See your doctor right away (just to be safe) for evaluation and possible treatment. Good luck,

Thank you for your question. It is not common to have a lot of pain and a large red area after dermal fillers. I advise following up with your injector right away for an evaluation and if necessary he/she can dissolve the filler with hyaluronidase. Best of Luck!
