Permanent discolouration at injection sites

I have clearly discoloured skin patches where my injection sites were.  I thought they might go away eventually but approx 18 months post treatment, it's clearly not going to happen.  They haven't faded whatsoever.  Looks like they are here to stay.  The left side is about 1-1/2 " in a ragged circular patch and the right side is blotchier and larger but same thing.  Not going to look pretty if I ever get myself back into a bikini (hey, a girl can dream) but I'll live.  I tended to keep with alternating right and left side and sort of used 4 different injection sites but not really far apart from each other.  Was anyone else left with this?  I think if I had known my skin would discolour to this degree from the injections I would have approached it differently.  Minor deal in general and compared to other gifts I was left with, just wondered if others also had likewise.

"Before and After.  Sheesh.  That's what Bill asked for.  I almost told him no T&A pictures either but erased that."

So does that mean there will be T&A pictures?

I'll be  ‹(•¿•)›  for those.

" Cheeks?"

I understand the temptation, but I think somewhere below the shoulders might be best.

"no B&A pictures. :)"

What the heck? "Blotch 'n @ss?"

What about a tatoo of the Goof-man? One for the right and one for the left?
