Can a numbing shot from a dentist in the mouth area do something awful to the Radiesse I got the day before? Will it move?

I LOVED my radiesse. I was very very happy with my broader cheeks. Not only did she get it EXACTLY how I would want it, there was NO bruising. The next day I went to the dentist to fill my cavity. I have done it once before with absolutely NO problem, no swelling. He did the numbing shot and immediately my right side of my face swelled so horribly I couldn't open my mouth. Can getting a numbing shot in the upper back of the mouth affect how the radiesse settles? Will it be shifted?
