Is this deep bruising or necrosis? I had lip filler done two days ago with Juvederm. (Photos)

Hi there! I had lip filler done two days ago with Juvederm. Upon injection my upper lip blanched and turned blue. My doctor immediately recognized it as a vascular occlusion and within 40 minutes he used two vials of hyaluronidase to remove the occlusion. I am not in severe pain however, the corner of my upper lip is tingly and numb. I can’t tell if this is severe bruising or the start of necrosis. I booked in with him for this afternoon to check but I want more opinions. Thank you.
