Juvederm Injection Sites Should Not Be Noticeable After Treatment
Juvederm is packaged with very tiny needles, the injection sites are extremely tiny. They should not be visible after your Juvederm injection.
Regardless of where you have your Juvederm injected, it should be difficult to impossible to find the injected entrance points.

Injection sites usually heal after filler injections
The sites should heal within a week or so. Using petrolatum usually helps. If you have bruising or swelling, icing the area also helps.

The Juvederm injection needles are very thin and they should not be visible even after 30 minutes, unless bruising occurs at the very site of injection.

Needles pricks should not be obvious
The needles used are very, very small (27-30 gauge), so you usually don't have anything noticeable as far as "holes" as you mentioned. You may have a bit of redness or swelling at injection sites, but the needle holes themselves are so tiny they close right up and you cannot see them.

Injection sites noticeable for a day or two
A small gauge needle is used to inject Juvederm, but any time a needle penetrates the skin there is a little red mark, and usually a little bleeding. These spots will fade over a day or two. If you bruise from the injections, which is not uncommon, you will notice that the bruises take up to 2 weeks or so to completely fade.

Doctors will not see your comments on their answers. If you'd like to follow up, please go here to ask another question.
As its noted above, its unlikely that the doctors will see the comments in this section, as it is intended for the community members to discuss the question. I would encourage you to call your injector and ask them, but my guess is you just have to wait it out. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have them check you though if you are feeling like this might not be normal.
