A month ago I posted on this site that I had juvederm around the mouth N/L fold. The spot from the needle mark has not improved, however it feels amazing and smooth I love it, but with make up on. I am a male and don't always use make up, now i'm needing it everyday. The one side is nice, feels smooth, still a little red but going away. The needle mark on the other side is round, no lump just round, did it hit a blood vessel? Is this a scar and permanent?
