I got my lips done 4 days ago with 1ml. My top lip seems to have 2 balls either side fromtge centre and the top middle lip is starting to split and it hurts. Top lip is biggerthan bottom. Bruises & more bruising as time goes on, lips are looking worse as and don't feel right. Hurts to eat, drink, smile or talk without feeling like my lips are going to split open with pressure. Is this necrosis. My lips have been shedding loads, looks like a milder version of exfoliative cheilitis. Very worried

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Based on your narrative and photos, this appears to be postprocedure bruising. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to allow for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising to fully resolve and to see your final result. ...
In my opinion, injected anesthetic can change the lip with swelling. However you can use topical creams and dental blacks can also be used. Many fillers contain Lidocaine so upon injecting, patient goes numb.
It will take 2 weeks for swelling to subside after lip injections. I would recommend that you book a 2 week follow up with your injector and if you are still unhappy you can discuss options . Best of luck !
