Depending on the lighting, a shadow is cast that makes them look even more pronounced. 3 weeks ago I had juvederm injected, got a dark purple bruise over the entire area, and now that the bruise has healed I see no improvement. In fact, I feel the area looks worse now as it appears like a dark shadow line/dent that goes straight down to my lip. Do I need more filler? Some other kind of treatment?
