Agree with the suggestions above. The blue discoloration is secondary to the Tyndall effect (light scattered back by the particles of Juvederm). Patience is the answer here.

The blue tinge you see from having the product injected too superficially. It is called a Tindle effect. The way to fix this is to remove the product from the superficial areas where it was injected. This can be done by placing a 22gauge needle poke over the area in question and manually extruding the Juvederm. It can also be done by injecting hyluronidase which is an enzyme that breaks down hyluronic acid (Restylane and Juvederm) in the area.

Will tindle effect fade as Juvederm is broken down in the affected area?
