Are these needle marks in my upper lips from Juvederm injection 4 days ago permanent? (photos)

Kristina6347
I have been injected with filler in my lips numerous times, with no complications. I went to a different plastic surgeon this last time around, who pricked my lips several times, and I can see the marks from where the needle entered, 4 days later. I did all that I was told I should do, including icing religiously for 2 days, took SinEcch before and after the injections, bromelain, etc., put Neosporin on lips. I steered clear of NSAIDs for 2 weeks prior. Is this permanent?
