Recurrence of vascular occlusion from 6-7 months ago (36 y/o F)? (photos)

C
Considerate1676Sep 24, 2022

Two days ago I noticed a cluster of tiny white bumps on my lower face that looks similar to a vascular occlusion I had resolved in Feb. I have no pain, no itchiness, and no changes in my skin care routine. The only thing I can think of is I had a random bug bite to my bottom lip so I applied ice and then I woke up with this. I have not had any fillers or injections placed anywhere in my lower face since then. Is this part of that filler issue or just acne?

Hi and thank you for your question. Both fillers can be used for lips, but Juvederm Volbella has been specifically developed for lips and it's a newer generation filler, so it might be preferred. More important than the choice of filler is the skill and experience of your injector so please make...
