Immediate blue bruise after lip fillers? (photos)

July 18, 2018
Asked By:emssily in United Kingdom

I had 1ml of a hyaluronic acid filler about 6 hours ago. I immediately developed a blood blister and a blue-purple bruise has been persistent above my lip ever since. I am not experiencing pain, just a little bit of tenderness, however I can't help but worry that this might be a vascular occlusion since it is so scary to look at it, and I am noticing some paleness. Is this normal?
