Blue Lines with Juvederm
The lines are likely superficial placement of the material. Unfortunately the only good treatment for superficial placement is hyaluronidase. Sometimes a needle can also be used to make a small puncture hole in the line and then manually squeeze the material out.

Blue Lines with Juvederm
The blue lines are very likely visible product and are in no way permanent scarring. I am unclear as to why you dont want the hyaluronidase treatments.

They are injected deeper, beneath the skin, and will generate more volume to...

Juvederm Under Eyes, Blue Lines
The bluish lines are the Juvederm which has been injected too superficially. I don't recommend patients receive Juvederm in the eye area/malar cheeks, because this is a common problem with Juvederm in that area. You don't have "swelling" from the treatment, but rather the product was injected too shallow and it caused a ridge. Which is another common problem with Juvederm in that area. Juvederm can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, but if you don't want to do that,...
