Tyndall effect and more lip filler?

Question

I had my lip fillers done about 5 months approx, I have a bit of Tyndall effect but it’d not very visable so it does not really bother me, my question is… would it look ok and be ok to have more lip filler having the Tyndall effect? Will it make it worse?

The Tyndall effect occurs when a dermal filler is injected too superficially, causing a bluish discoloration under the skin. This effect is seen more commonly when hyaluronic acid fillers are used.
Having more filler injected into your lips may or may not exacerbate the Tyndall effect, depending on several factors, such as the depth of injection, the type of filler used, and individual skin characteristics. If the new filler is also injected too superficially, it could potentially worsen the Tyndall effect. However, if the filler is injected at the correct depth and in the right locations, it may not necessarily worsen the existing Tyndall effect.

The Tindal effect is not something some people guess and others don’t. It is a potential outcome when HA fillers are placed close to the skin surface in areas that can be translucent.
Providers should not place fillers close to skin surface around the vermillion. 
I suggest you discuss this with your provider.
I see a lot of bad lip, filler work being done. There are obviously a significant number of providers who are still early on their learning curve.
Well done cosmetic intervention should not be recognizable as someone having had a procedure.
Having this happen, once does not necessarily mean it needs to happen again
Best,
