Necrosis after lip fillers? (photo)

Hi,It is unlikely that you have necrosis - such an event would be heralded by significant pain, immediate paleness to an area of skin and eventually, a greyish duskiness to the skin. It is always prudent to follow up with your injector with concerns.Best,Mehdi Sina, MD

This may be due to swelling or superficially placed filler. I recommend following up with your injector. If necessary, the filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase. Hope this helps.

Hello. Well done on knowing the complications of your treatment.
It’s very difficult to tell from photos if you have true pallor or if it’s just the “white roll” of your lip. I’d suggest going to your treating physician and asking them to check your capillary refill and look for any other signs that would indicate an occlusion.

Other signs to look out for include the progression of pallor to a bluish discolouration to the skin and pustule formation.

I hope that this isn’t the case and from the photos it’s very hard to tell if there’s anything other than some post treatment swelling going on. I would advise, that if you are worried, to go and see your physician, even if it’s just for reassurance! The best of luck, Dr Semira Kwabi
