Can I get lip injections again following vascular occlusion 3 weeks ago? (Photo)

Usually vascular occlusion is due to a small amount of filler lodging in a vessel. It is also possible that a large amount of filler "compressed" the vessel. I would give the area more healing time before re-treating.Using a cannula to inject the filler may help low your risk for future adverse events. I would have a conversation with your injector prior to receiving more filler. Best of luck!

Hello Josephine
Unfortunately it appears you suffered a vascular occlusion after lip filler treatment. I always advise clients who have experienced this rare complication, to wait 3 months before re-injecting with filler, to allow the tissues to perfuse and adequately recover

Two points to consider. First, allow the tissue to heal itself before deciding on further action. Any tissue injury needs time to heal completely even if from the outside looks normal. Second point, your lips are massively overfilled which, in itself, may lead to vascular compromise and, in a long term, to permanent distortion which may eventually require a surgical intervention. Stay natural and stay within your own beauty. Good luck!

It is not the amount of the filler that causes vascular occlusion but a small amount of filler getting into a blood vessel. You really should let your tissues heal completely until you consider having another lip augmentation or nasolabial fold treatment procedure. I would allow you treating physician to decide when your face is ready for another treatment. Good luck from New York City
