I had a GP inject me with a brand of hyaluronidase to remove some juvederm 2 days after initial application, in in the area of skin under my lips, I had a bad reaction where my skin turned blue and I have indents above my chin. It's created dimple like depreciation. Plus only parts on the Juvederm is dissolving. I am worried my skin will not return to normal? how long should I wait for it to smooth out and correction of colour?
