Is this Vascular Occlusion ? (photo)

Question

Hi I just had my lips injected within the last hour and my bruises look a bit on the white side. Is this the beginning stages of Vascular Occlusion??

Mathew C. Mosher, MD · Answer

If you are concerned about whether you have experienced a complication from lip injections, your provider should be providing this reassurance. Your lips look unnaturally swollen but the blood supply does not appear to have been compromised.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  Your picture is not consistent with a vascular occlusion, rather this can be seen with routine dermal filler augmentation of the lips.  Hope this helps.

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

There is nothing in this picture consistent with vascular occasion. Keep in mind that human lips do not look good with too much filler.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Just based on your photo, it does not appear that you have any vascular occlusion after your lip injections.  If there is any question, it is always better to be examined in person though.  You may want to contact the physician who treated you to see if they would like to examine you in the office.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

What you have is typical bruising which patients may see after lip augmentation. You have nothing to worry about. Good luck from New York City
