Can necrosis occur weeks after lip filler? (Photo)

DMeoli3
I had lip filler close to 3 weeks ago on top and bottom. Never had bruising or any complications, however today I have a small spot that has discoloration. Dark purple. Could this be necrosis? Can this occur weeks after like this? I believe Juvederm was what I had.
