What You Should Know about Necrosis
Necrosis is caused by a lack of blood and oxygen to the tissue. It may be triggered by chemicals, cold, trauma, radiation or chronic conditions that impair blood flow. There are many types of necrosis, as it can affect many areas of the body, including bone, skin, organs and other tissues.
One common type of necrosis is caused by damage from tissues after dermal fillers. Any time blood flow is blocked to an area, i.e. with filler or an area is so damaged that blood cannot flow to and from it, necrosis may be possible.
