Could this be necrosis after lip injections? (Photos)

Jthomas86
I got juv ultra plus XC 2 days ago. Right after last injection on lower lip there was blanching. Injector massaged & it returned to color- though My lip swelled & bruised right away- purple/black color. By the next AM, the dark bruising was mostly gone & had turned red. Now, 2 days following, I have pain resembling canker sore on that side of LL (I think a few injection sites even have tiny ulcers), 1 left over dark bruise inside lip and bruising under lip. Could this be necrosis?
