Numbness is not typical post injection.  It is normal to have some numbess for maybe an hour after injection as Juvederm syringes have lidocaine premixed into them however past that it is not normal.  It's possible that placement of the filler may be causing some nerve compression and needs to be addressed by your injector.  It will need to be dissolved.  

Hyaluronidase is very safe and very effective to dissolve unexpected or undesirable effects of fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm.  Restylane and Belotero are the best fillers for this part of the face and should be injected deeply to avoid lumps.  You will be much happier once it's dissolved but make sure to wait at least one week before having the tear troughs injected with more filler because if there's any residual hyaluronidase it will dissolve the newly injected filler.  Good luck! 

Sometimes what can happen with filler is that if you have been receiving filler over a period of time, the filler will move more superficially to the top creating a "tindel" effect which causes a "bluish-gray" color.  It's not harmful but is noticeable more to you than anyone else.  This is more caused by hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane.  It can be resolved with an enzyme that is injected called hyaluronidase that dissoles the filler.  However, the best thing to do is to consult with your injector.
