A venous lake (also known as phlebectasis [1]) is a generally solitary, soft, compressible, dark blue to violaceous, 0.2- to 1-cm papule commonly found on sun-exposed surfaces of the vermilion border of the lip, face and ears. [2] [3] [4] Lesions generally occur among the elderly. [5] [6]
Treatment usually consists of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and local compression (e.g., by compression stockings or a compress). [7] If the phlebitis is associated with local bacterial infection, antibiotics may be used. [8] For acute infusion superficial thrombophlebitis, not enough evidence exists as of 2015 to determine treatment. [9]
Anticoagulation is recommended for patients with lower extremity superficial thrombophlebitis at increased risk for thromboembolism (affected venous segment of ≥5 cm, in proximity to deep venous system, positive medical risk factors). [20] Treatment with fondaparinux reduces the risk of subsequent venous thromboembolism. [21]
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition characterized by blood pooling in the veins, leading to increased pressure and strain on the vein walls. [1] The most common cause of CVI is superficial venous reflux, which often results in the formation of varicose veins, a treatable condition. [2]
Thrombophlebitis causes include disorders related to increased tendency for blood clotting and reduced speed of blood in the veins such as prolonged immobility; prolonged traveling (sitting) may promote a blood clot leading to thrombophlebitis but this occurs relatively less.
When lip filler migrates, it goes from the inner “red lip” to the outer part of the lip, or the “white lip,” says double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Michael Bassiri-Tehrani, MD.

BRBNS is a venous malformation, [4] formerly, though incorrectly, thought to be related to the hemangioma. It sometimes causes serious bleeding. [5] Lesions are most commonly found on the skin and in the small intestine and distal large bowel. The lesions can also be found in the central nervous system, liver, and muscles. [6]
