The lip numbness sounds like it is resolving. This may have been the result of swelling or accidentally "tweaking" a sensory nerve when either filling the lip or numbing the lip. Give it some time, it usually gets better.
Is numbness after Juvederm treatment normal?
I had juvederm injected into my upper and lower lips 9 days ago. The swelling is gone now but I am still numb on the right side of both my upper and lower lip. The bottom lip tingles when I move my mouth-the sensation feels much like when your hand falls asleep and is in the process of waking up. My upper lip does not feel tingly at all. I do like the results now that the swelling is gone, but I am scared to death that my lips are going to be numb forever. Is there nerve damage now? Is this normal? Is it going to go away?
