Which symptoms after dermal filler require urgent medical attention?

Question to clarify

How can I distinguish expected swelling or bruising from symptoms that should not wait, especially changes in vision, severe pain, or changes in skin color?

Source-backed answer

Seek urgent medical help for visual changes, unusual or severe pain, skin that becomes white, gray, or blue near the injection area, sudden weakness, speech difficulty, or other rapidly worsening symptoms. Contact the treating clinic immediately and use emergency services when indicated. Do not rely on a message board to decide whether to wait.
