Is this signs of necrosis or bruise on my nose after filler I had yesterday? I want to catch signs early (Photos)

Asked By:saritah in Switzerland, CH

I had several bad rhinoplasties and blood supply is not good. I use filler sometimes and my mid vault is permanently discolored. This time, I had injection site on sides of mid vault, and last injec. was very painful (above right nostril to mid vault). Few hours later it was completely blue- purple, even tip, although I didn't had filler in the tip. My doctor who did filler is not plastic surgeon or dermatologist, he said that it is just a bruise, that I don't need hyaluronidase or antibiotic.
