I had juvederm ultra plus injected in my nasal labial folds a month ago and i can see a bluish discoloration along the folds. i have seen a few doctors and they say it doesn't look like the tyndall effect but I know my skin and there deifinitely is discoloration, most the doctors say it probably is bruising but it's been a month already since the injection. I am very self conscious about this discoloration and in certain lighting is VERY visible... Is there anything I can do to get rid of this?

Answer: Discoloration from Juvederm or Restylane can be easily removed
It is possible for any filler to get into into a blood vessel, unintentionally, and tiny amount migrate and form a clot but this would be very unusual and hopefully most of us will never see this. More likely would be a compression of a vessel in this area and skin necrosis but this...
Sometimes, improperly injected filler can contribute to the bluish tint due to the Tyndall effect. Best to have your injection performed by an injector who has experience in treating the eye area.
I Had Juvederm Voluma in my Cheeks Today and See No Results is This Normal? I have performed many cheek augmentations with fillers and Juvederm, IMHO, is too thin for cheek augmentation. I use perlane or radiesse which are thicker fillers capable of shaping the Cheeks, Chin and Jaw line.
