Why Do I Have Intermittant Numbness After Radiesse?

I had Lidocaine & Radiesse injections approx 2 weeks ago to the Cheeks and Folds around my mouth. Since then I have had intermittant numbness occur in my upper lip to the tip of my nose. It is not constant numbness, last anywhere from 20 mins to 3 hours then goes away. I have full muscle control, no visible signs of this numbness but why is it occuring and is there any possibility it will ever subside completely?
