Skin necrosis or bruise below lower lip? (Photos)

The lips are very vascular and bruising is quite common in this area.  Because of the vascularity of the lips there is a high risk of intravascular injection.  If you are concerned at all about pending necrosis see your physician right away.

If you are confused or worried please see your physician.  Its likely just a bruise but no reason that you cannot be seen to ensure this is not an issue.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs.  This appears to be a bruise from your injections and not skin necrosis.  Bruising can worsen in the first 24-48 hours after treatment so do not be alarmed.  This should resolve spontaneously over a week's time but you can try to accelerate the process with cold compresses, sleeping with your head elevated at night with a couple of extra pillows behind your back and arnica/Bromelain supplements. Hope this helps.

This is likely a bruise - the lip area is very vascular and bruising is not uncommon. However, please see your Dr. ASAP to rule out any more serious concerns that you obviously have.

The photo appears to demonstrate bruising. Bruising can become worse before it gets better. You were correct to relate your concerns to your doctor. Consider using cool compresses as well as arnica and bromelain pills to help hasten your healing process. Best of luck.
