I had one syringe of juvaderm injected in my upper and lower lip 6 days ago - it was injected into the lip line and lip body. I have a weird mark on my entire mustache area about 1cm above the injection area. It is hard to see on my skin because it's a light brown/yellow color . Could this be hyper pigmentation from the injection or what else? I know its not tyndal effect because it is not discolored in the injection area, but above it. Im hoping it's just a bruise but it is strange looking
