Is this a blocked blood vessel after Juvederm injection 8 days ago?

mdefer
Hello, I had juvederm 8 days ago and have red patches and new bruises that popped up below my smile line and lower lip. Initially, I was very swollen and and the red patches seemed to be a bit darker. Most of the bruise is fading. I called the nurse practicioner and she seemed to think this was just a skin reaction and I needed more time to heal. I just want to know if this normal, or if I need to go see a doctor ASAP. Thanks so very much.
