Juvederm Bruising on Nasolabial Fold

Thanks for your question.
Because of the nature of superficial depression you are having filled, it is not unlikely that a Tyndall effect might result. The Tyndall effect is the bluish appearance when filler is injected too high in the dermis. Bruising usually dimishes within the first two weeks, so if this bluish appearance is exactly the same now as it was right after you were injected, it is likely to be the Tyndall effect rather than bruising. It will take time for the Tyndall effect to resolve - usually it will last for 6-8 months, as it only resolves when the filler degrades.
If you would like to resolve this sooner, you can have your physician try Vitrase to dissolve the filler, and then retry with deeper injections.
Hope this helps!

If Juvederm is injected too superficial, it can cause a bluish hue to the skin. If nicking the skin doesn't do the trick, injecting Wydase can dissolve the Juvederm and you can start over. My experience has shown that scars don't always get a lot better with filler, but some do.
