Discoloration and indention. Is this Tyndall effect of Juvederm? (photos)

Question

I have had several rounds of juvederm fillers, In which all has gone great minimal bruising and swelling, no lumps. But I have one spot on my upper lip that looks like bruising, I would think that it may be the Tyndall effect but it also indents at the same spot where the bruising looking area is. Could this be Tyndall effect? I will also add I use to get pretty bad fever blisters, in which the doctor said it may be a scar but it was never discolored like this till after one of my filler session

I would suggest a touch up injection in the depressed area.  This may change how light hits it as well.
Was this area the area that bruised with the last injection?

Hello and thank you for your question. It is always best to see you face to face for a consult and examination however in this case you should wait 3 weeks for all to settle- if these discolourations are still on the skin your injector can rectify them. It could be superficial filler and if that is the case it is an easy fix. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an experienced and qualified medical professional for these treatments. Very best wishes

Hi there,

It could be a blueish hue as well as scarring from a fever blister.  Always take your Valtrex two days prior to lip filler.  Just let that relax for a couple weeks and then maybe see how it appears.  You may need to touch up around that area as well!

Best of luck!
