Sudden onset Pigmentation 4 weeks post lip filler - Is this permanent? What can be done about it?

zhaxMay 2, 2019
Hi all, I had 1mL Juvederm ultra to my lips 4 weeks ago (4th April) & had a healite II treatment yesterday 10am. This morning I noticed this marked blue tinge to my lower lip when I woke up. No injury. Looking through pictures I can see some unevenness to the area yesterday and maybe even 2 weeks ago- no blue pigment but some uneven filler. Is this permanent? What can be done about it?
