Tissue necrosis after Restylane in lips. Is this normal bruising and swelling? (Photo)

mercycarlson
I got restalyn for the first time yesterday and totally forgot and didn’t realize I wasn’t suppose to take ibuprofen. I took 600mg that Morning and had my appointment later that day. I know stupid. I bruised and swelled pretty immediately on my left side of my upper lip. I love my results I just want to make sure that it’s not tissue necrosis. Or anything more serious. I’ve also had a previous injury about 4-5 years ago where there bruising and swelling occurred. Maybe that’s why this had happened ?
