I have had my lips done with juvaderm three times, the last time I got a slight discoloration on the bottom of my lip (injection point) and on the top of my lip (again injection points) top lip almost looks like little brown freckles lining my lips, the bottom one is much bigger and has darkened so much over the last year. I love the results of my lips and want to continue this (I wear serious sunscreen too)... What do I do?

Sorry to hear that you’re having an uncomfortable experience with your injections. Because the lips are such a sensitive area, they can be prone to significant bruising, which is what it appears you’re currently going through. Everyone’s body reacts differently to these types of treat...
Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs. Based on your narrative and photos, this appears to be postprocedure bruising. Please keep in mind that it will take 2 weeks to allow for normal postprocedure swelling and bruising to fully resolve and to see your final result. ...
In my opinion, injected anesthetic can change the lip with swelling. However you can use topical creams and dental blacks can also be used. Many fillers contain Lidocaine so upon injecting, patient goes numb.
