What is the likelihood of occlusion occurring again from Juvederm, or is it just bad luck?

Mary91
I had lip fillers just over 6 weeks ago, however it resulted in an occlusion and the filler was immediately dissolved. The area above my lip is still pink and healing. I really want to get my lips done again, however this experience has put me off a bit as it has taken a long time to heal. Is it likely this could happen again if I chose to go ahead with more fillers? Or is it just bad luck? Am I a rare case because it has taken so long to heal? Greatly appreciate the answers!
