After receiving 1cc of lip filler, I noticed a white color on my upper lip several hours later. I contacted my dermatologist's office, but they didn't look at my pictures and suggested using Benadryl and alternating warm and cold compresses.
The white color or blanching of the skin at the injection site may indicate vessel occlusion. It is important to follow up with your injector as soon as possible to ensure safety. At this time, I do not recommend using cold compresses, but instead, gentle massage, warm compresses, and taking aspirin would be beneficial. Good luck.
In some cases, occlusion of the vessel can lead to blanching and may cause discomfort. It is advisable to follow up with your injector for an evaluation to rule out this issue.
Impending necrosis caused by dermal filler injected into a blood vessel can present with blanching of the skin, pain, and potential blockage. Urgent follow-up with the injector is recommended, along with gentle massage, warm compresses, and consideration of oral ASA 75mg or hyaluronidase injection if necessary.
Dermal fillers can sometimes cause blanching due to a loss of blood supply to the area. It is recommended to consult with the injector for an examination to determine the cause of blanching.
