You are correct, this discolouration is a risk with all hyaluronic acid fillers, which are also the safest... (Juvederm and Restylane). The risk is increased with superficial injections and in fair skinned patients.
Your lip shape does pose a challenge for practitioners. I would advice that your vermillion border is avoided. A tenting technique may be most helpful, but certainly small volume working with body and wet/; dry border. Hyaluronidase can be used to treat unsightly lumps and remove filler if bluish discoloration is unacceptable.
