Blocked blood vessel after lip filler? White spot (Photo)

M
Mell21Mar 28, 2017

I got lip fillers like 3 hours ago. When I got home I noticed a white spot on my lip with a green/ bluish shimmer to it. I am scared that the dr hit a blood vessel?! I send my DR a picture and he thinks it's nothing to be worried about. The last pictures shows a white patch I have from a previous injection. Maybe this will turn into something like that? But what is it?

You have swelling which can take 1-2 weeks to resolve after lip injections. You can apply firm pressure between two fingers on the lips for a few days, for 5 mins a time, in order to help decrease swelling and even out the lumps. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it...

Brusnagirl.   You are correct to try to understand all ramifications of lip augmentation. It is best to start off with fillers, which are NOT permanent, like Juvederm Ultra plus. If you like the look, then you can consider something more permanent, like fat transfer. If you don't like the l...

Hyaluronic Acid is a natural substance already found in our body, so allergies to fillers rarely occur. Because of this, a patch test isn't routinely performed. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a full and symmetrical lip. Implants or fat are alternatives. I rec...
