1cc Juvederm from Plastic Surgeon in my Lips on 11/9 (Received Numbing Cream W/epinephrine and Dental Block Beforehand) (had reaction to cream: sweating, heart palpitations for 15min after the entire procedure was over) Was told swelling/numbness would go away in 2hr. barely had swelling but still numbness only in my lips today on 11/13. have about 20-30% numbness so going away and mostly in bottom lip. lips look great i am afraid of doing it again b/c of the pain, reaction to the cream and numbness. is this really safe and what if my dr. hit a nerve or next time hits a nerve. what's the worse that could happen?
