If juvederm caused lymphedema, will the swelling resolve on its own as the filler dissolves? I had juvederm injected 3 months ago at the top of my cheek bone under the far corner of my eye. I had a massive hemotoma and swelling thAt took nearly 2 months to fade. I still have swelling and discoloration in the tear trough area and feel like the filler has created a bag under my eye. I do not want to get the wydase, but would rather wait it out.
