I had Juvederm Ultra 4 injected in cheeks about 3months ago. First 3weeks I was fine. But one day after I had eaten much carbs my cheeks began to get very swollen(edema). It took about 4days before the swelling got down. This has happen many times, mostlt after I have eaten much carbs or milk products. I do not have swelling right now, but the juvederm feels like a very hard bump under the skin. What can this be? allergy to juvederm or milk protein? carbs that bind to much water? or?
