I had fillers in my lips 5 days ago, today I have noticed after putting on Vaseline that the top edges are a little pale, is this the onset of necrosis? Is there any other symptoms that accompany colour discolouration?

Answer: Swollen Lips Your lips appear swollen and slightly bruised but there does not appear to be any areas of necrosis. Necrosis can occur with intravascular injections and usually causes immediate blanching and pain. Duskiness can progress if the circulation is not reestablished leading to necrosis which is purplish-black scaly skin over several hours to days. You are now 5 days out and should be fine. If you have questions you should follow up with the treating physician.

Answer: Post lip filler Hey there,Pale areas post filler may be because of inadequate massage post filler or because of superficial placement of the filler or it may be a sign of ongoing vascular compression because of the filler. Best thing you should do is to get back immediately to your injector and get it sorted out.
