Filler and discoloration
Without posting a picture of exactly the area you are referring to, it's hard to say whether it's your skin and hyperpigmentation issues or actual residual product that's superficial, causing a tyndall affect. If you had product injected to your nasolabial folds and now see discoloration at your top lip (moustache), it's not likely the filler but your skin.

Discoloration following filler
Hello, and I'm sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing following your treatment with filler. At this point, hyaluronidase will not do much. All or most of the filler has dissolved. It is also important to mention that an area of discoloration would not benefit from a treatment with hyaluronidase, as the specific purpose of this enzyme is to eliminate the filler.

It is very rare for discoloration to last more than a few weeks after filler injection
I suggest you see your physican for treatment. Sometimes the pigment was there before and comparing photos should show that. For future treatments, using blunt tipped cannulas can reduce the amount of bleeding from fillers.

Discoloration from injections
It is possible, but rare, to have discoloration from an injection. I would suggest seeing your office's skincare department to see if using a bleaching agent product is available. The hyaluronidase is only used to dissolve the filler and would not be beneficial.

Discoloration of lip one year after filler
I would go back to see the doctor who did the injection. Most of the hyaluronic acid fillers will be degraded by one year, so hyaluronidase is not needed. You need to find out which filler was used. A photo would also help. Lana Long MD
