The Juvederm injector missed my left nasolabial fold and now there's a hyperpigmented line where it was. Will it go away?

Asked By:BGP

Hi, I had Juvederm injected for my nasiolabial folds last week, but I believe the injector genuinely missed. The product ended up just to the left of my left fold; I thought it had migrated, but even the initial swelling was in the same area. I waited a couple of days to be sure, and indeed it looked bad so I massaged the ridge down, but now there's a hyperpigmented line where it used to be. I'm really let down by the results, it looks worse than before. Will the hyperpigmentation go away?
