I had a vascular occlusion am I healing okay? (photos)

Question

I had a vascular occlusion about 2 days ago. I got treated within 12 hours of it happening. I went to the E.R. And my injector the next morning and got hyaluronidase and nitropaste the first night. Then more hyaluronidase the next day. My skin is super raw feeling and has weird white looking pimples on it. Is this normal? Is my skin feeling, are my veins/arteries still blocked even though I got treated twice ?

Thankyou for your question. I would be seeing your injector daily until all is settled. The fact that you still have some pimples suggests you need further hyaluronidase. You are not there yet.Hope this helps and good luck

Dear Rachel, I am sorry that you had this rare but severe complication from filler. I would say it is nearly impossible to follow this complication by pictures alone as so much depends on the appearance and feel of the tissue. In some patients, repeat hyaluronidase injections are necessary. Continue to see your injector closely, to make sure you are optimizing your recover!
