Permanent bruises after hyaluronidase to lips - is there anything I can do? (photos)

Asked By:nouhau123 in Sofia, Sofia City Province, Bulgaria
Hello! Last year I had 1 ml Juvederm injected into my very thin lips. Six months later I was unhappy with the results and went to another doctor to inject 0.5 ml. I hated my lips, they were too big and filled with bumps so I decided to dissolve. But now my lips look bruised, I believe I have scar tissue on the bottom lip and some permanent bruises. I still have several bumps and am afraid that my lips will look like that forever. Is there anything that I can do?

Best of luck !
