On (b)(6) 2026, a healthcare provider reported injecting 0.6cc of evolysse smooth into a female patient in the lips using a superficial, linear threading technique with a 30 gauge needle.The patient experienced slight blanching in the upper right lip tissue along with a hematoma.Treatment with ice and arnica were administered prior to the patient leaving the office.The same day as the injection at approximately 8:30 pm the patient notified the injecting physician and reported pain and discoloration in the upper lip and perioral area.The patient returned to the office immediately and a vascular occlusion was confirmed by the hcp.Symptoms included delayed capillary refill, pain and tissue blanching.Heat and massage to the affected area was performed and the patient was injected with 2 vials of hylenex.Following treatment, the hcp observed the skin color and capillary refill returned to normal.The patient returned home.On (b)(6) 2026, the patient reported her symptoms had returned and a blister had formed on the upper lip.The patient was sent for an ultrasound.The hcp stated the ultrasound showed the vascular occlusion was not fully resolved.The hcp injected the upper lip with 2 additional vials of hylenex.The hcp continued the vascular occlusion protocol of heat and vigorous massage for the next few hours until the tissue returned to normal.The patient underwent two hyperbaric oxygen treatments following which the hcp reported a full resolution of the vascular occlusion with tissue fully perfused, pink and capillary refill returned to normal.The blister is scabbing and healing.

The filler was injected into the patient and is not available for return.Based on the reported information, this event is consistent with a vascular occlusion which is a known serious adverse event documented in the labeling.This can occur due to unintended injection into a blood vessel or injection of a large amount of filler near a blood vessel causing compression of the blood vessel.Both occlusion and compression may result in reduced or cessation of blood supply to tissues.Intervention is required to prevent serious and permanent complications.The production records for the lot were reviewed, and no deviations were found during production that would relate to the reported event; the device met all specifications.Eus: (b)(4).
