Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Yes, I recommend you follow up with your Doctor as soon as possible. The filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase. Hope this helps.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

I recommend returning to your doctor for an evaluation.  The symptoms you describe seem severe and warrant a visit.

Hi there. I would be concerned about the possibility of vascular occlusion. Please go see your injector immediately to assess and treat the area. Time is of the essence. Treatment within 48 hours is generally the golden period any longer and you have risk of permanent side effects.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest you see your physician right away.  This can be reversed with hyaluronidase and should be treated with topical vasodilators (nitropaste) as prevention. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
