Answer: White lips after filler I would suggest urgent review with your injector. Initially there can be blanching after dermal filler due to loss of blood supply to the area The injector will be able to tell you fairly quickly after examining you

Answer: Lip filler and possibility of necrosis Impending necrosis is painful and it doesn’t appear that you are at risk, however it’s impossible to be sure from a photo. Your doctor should absolutely have looked at your photos OR preferably had you come into the office. Did they ask you about pain and other symptoms? If they told you to do warm compresses, that tells me they consider necrosis a possibility. In my opinion, it’s inexcusable not to see a patient under those circumstances as early intervention is critical. If they asked you all the appropriate questions and determined you were not at risk, that’s different story. If you have any concerns still, go and see them. Best to you.
