I had an occlusion after Juvederm In lips yesterday. By the time I got home I had dusky bottom lip and chin. I was told take aspirin, massage and heat. It seemed more pink after doing that. But by night it looked a lot worse so she said to update her in the morning.This morning it has not gotten worse but has not improved.She said she believes it’s no longer occluded.She prescribed me prednisone and told me to continue aspirin/heat. Am I still occluded? I’m worried my skin is permanently damaged

It sounds like you may need skin lifting or skin tightening with fillers. I suggest you see an expert for a formal evaluation, some of the lines you are describing at your age are from laxity and need a full face/neck lift. Best, DR. Emer.
Options include for skin tightening :

The marionette lines you refer to are below the corners of the mouth? These are most often injected directly, however mid face injections do help to elevate the cheek and lower face to a certain degree. Most fillers will diffuse into tissue to some extent but true migration does not occur.
