Very slight bleeding after Juvederm in upper lip. Do I need to be worried that this is a sign of infection?

Asked By:Wjb44 in Flagstaff, AZ

I was brushing my teeth about 8 hours after my injection and I noticed a bit of minor bleeding at one of the injection sites. Do I need to be worried that this is a sign of infection? Or will a lump form?
