Grey area after Juvederm Ultra Plus?
It is difficult to give you precise advice without performing an exam. This can occur if the filler is injected superficially. I would recommend following up with your provider, as they will be able to give you the best advice. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Wait for possible resolution before seeking treatment
This grey discoloration may be due to superficial placement of the Juvederm, the so called "Tyndall effect". It may also be a slight bruising effect. The Juvederm can be eliminated by another type of injection using Hyaluronidase if the problem persists more than a few weeks.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Injected Very Superficially Can Produce A Bluish-Gray Discoloration
The discoloration you see is the Juvéderm injected superficially in the upper dermis or just below the epidermis. If your physician was trying to correct a crease in the skin of the NLF then s/he was trying to place the filler more superficially. If you do not have a crease in your NLF, then this occurred by accident. But it did not migrate there.
The coloration you see is called the Tyndall effect – it is light scattering caused by particles in a colloid, suspension, or emulsion. In...

Grey hue following Juvederm
It sounds most likely that what you are seeing the the Tyndall effect, a bluish discoloration seen when hyalauronic acid fillers are too close to the surface of the skin. I would see the physician who injected your Juvederm to assess whether any intervention is necessary.

Juvederm causing bluish hue ...
This can be caused by these fillers which like a colloid soultion and the Tyndall effect refract light and cause this bluish hue. If it does not dissipate in 2 weeks, see your injector/provider for possible hyaluronidase injection.

See your doctor or send him a picture
A gray area that is not blue or dark from a bruise maybe concerning for tissue viability. It maybe nothing to worry about but with out a picture it is hard to access.
Consult your physician.
Good luck

Grey area after Juvederm injection/ Tyndall effect
Hello 'george23', thanks for your question. Although a photo would have been helpful, if it is not a bruise, there is a phenomenon called the Tyndall effect which can occur with hyaluronic acid fillers when they are injected too superficially, or in certain areas with thin overlying skin, such as in the lower eyelid/ tear trough deformity region. These fillers are a clear gel which with certain light angles, can reflect a bluish-grey hue to the injected sights. Many times...
