I only got injections on the tip but my entire nose has dark spots now and one side of the tip is very dark.
Answer: Not consistent with necrosis Although these pictures make it less likely to make an accurate diagnosis, this does not appear to be necrosis. Honestly, I don't even see much bruising with the exception of a little punctate spot on your right side. Some bruising is to be expected. Necrosis generally would be painful, and give more "color" changes to the skin that is white, red, purple variations. I'm fairly sure this is not necrosis, but you need to see your provider ASAP if you are still concerned. Time is of the essence to prevent damage as there is a treatment available. Best to you, Dr. Giordano

Answer: Nasal bruising following tip injection I have been consulted for tip necrosis following rhinoplasty surgery and it does not look like the photos that you have provided. I cannot say that you do not have some element of nasal tip vascular compromise or simply bruising. If you push on your tip gently and watch the skin turn white or light (blanching of the skin) then release the pressure and watch the light tip skin regain color, then you know there is good capillary refill and likely no chance of tip necrosis. Obviously, a call to your injector is a very good idea as well.

Answer: Do I have nose necrosis after fillers? I got fillers on my nose tip earlier today. Now my entire nose is bruised. Hello! It is difficult to assess on your photos alone. However, given your submitted photos and your description, I would recommend following up immediately to assess the area. Following any injection, the vascularity may become compromised and is always a concern. Any changes from the norm is urgent and should be brought to somebody’s attention immediately. Best wishes!

Answer: Nose necrosis Dear germangirl1990,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination but based on your photo, it doesn't look like a necrosis.
