Causes of Extreme Swelling Post-Juvederm? I've had It Several Times With No Problem.

True allergic reactions with Juvaderm are rare, but can occur. Perhaps this is what is going on. You should your doctor immediately and be evaluated. You may require a short course of steroids to help decrease swelling and stop any allergic reaction.

Swelling at the injection site can happen but I have never heard of the entire face swelling.  It sounds as if you are having some reaction - perhaps to juvederm and perhaps to something unrelated.  You should return to your doctor and consult them right away.

Swelling after Juvederm is common, but it sounds as if yours is excessive and not what you've experienced in the past.  You may want to check with your injector to make sure he/she used the same amount of product.  If more was used, you may be over filled or have more swelling.  If you have excessive bruising, this can cause more swelling as well.  Juvederm can be dissolved by Hyaluronidase so that is another option if you are over filled.  Finally, if the area is red and tender, you may have an infection so definitely return to your injector to be evaluated.
