No, prolonged (48 hours) facial numbness should occur fron filler injections or removal. Best to see the MD that did the Juvederm removal for evaluation just for an evaluation.

Numbness of Left Cheek Down to Lip after Juvederm Injection

Numbness of the left cheek down to upper lip is not normal after Jauvederm injections l but is probably transient and secondary to swelling around the infra-orbital nerve. Contact your physician and hopefully this problem will have improved by the time you receive this response.

Not normal best to return to the injecting doctor for immediate evaluation. Could be a nerve block has occurred.

Swelling around the nerve after filler injection

Numbness after injection of juvederm in the region of the cheek and lip indicates trauma to the infraorbital nerve. Chances are that this sensory nerve located below the eye is involved with swelling from Juvederm injected around the cheek or lower lid. It is very likely that sensation will return as the swelling diminishes. Contact your physician as sometimes injection of hyaluronidase can be helpful. Best regards

Numb from juvederm

Where was your juvederm injected? There are certain areas where I suppose that a nerve could have been traumatized or compressed but it depends on where injection done and on how much used. I have never seen or heard of this happening and would think it to be quite odd but anything possible. If we knew where injection done that would be helpful.
