I got a lip filler injection about 24 hours ago and immediately saw small purple spots above my lip, by my nose, spreading toward my nasolabial fold. This area was numb, which I figured was due to the numbing agent used prior to the injection. Now, as seen in the photo, I have redness spreading on only the right side of my face, with a burning pain right under my right nostril. I also feel pressure in this area. What is happening to my face? Could I possibly have vascular occlusion?
