Can Juvederm migrate to another area months after the procedure?

October 21, 2014
Asked By:lalalola in North Carolina, NC

7 months ago I had Juverderm injected in my cheeks to remove the appearance of hollow eyes. On the same day i had volbella in my lips.Results were perfect. 2 days ago i woke up with extremely sore upper cheeks (face felt warm, sore and quite firm) and my face was puffy. My lips, only where the filler is left became very swollen and hard. Today my lips are 'back to normal' but the filler in my upper cheeks have migrated to under my eyes creating small oval swollen dark bags. Is this normal?
