Is this vascular occlusion or vascular compromise? Post Restylane Defyne lip aug sessions.

September 4, 2018
Asked By:DahliaBloom in Great Neck, NY

08/01: I had one 1cc Restylane Defyne. Subtle results so I decided to do another 1cc on 08/31. At the end of the session the doctor said that I would bruise this time. I wasn't concerned with the bruising until I noticed a few tiny blisters below my nose on 09/02. When I went in the office for a follow up today, the doc said that a blood vessel had been blocked and immediately dissolved the filler. I am freaked out as the doc wants to do IPL treatments. Has my skin tissue been destroyed?
