Hi, I had a hylaroric based filler in my nasio labial folds around 30hrs ago. I felt a lot more pain than usual in my lip area and am experiencing more and more severe bruising in this area as the hours have passed. The doctor said it was weird I was feeling the pain on my lip, as this is not where he had injected. I'm worried I have damaged a vessel and will develop damage to my skin in this area. I have attached pic! Looking for some reassurance, as the practice is not open over the weekend. Help!
