Can Juvederm or Botox cause burning in the mouth and numbness?

zana1104Mar 23, 2018
I got Juvederm injected under my eyes and upper lip about a year ago along with Botox in the forehead. A year later my lips were so swollen and the dr diluted the Juvederm. There is still a little bit left but my upper roof, my tongue, and gums and teeth are burning and a numbing feeling. I also feel numbing in my one cheek. Can this be from Juvederm or Botox? I am in so much pain.

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to advise based upon your photos, however, I would advise that you continue to follow up with the provider who did your injection, or a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to assess whether further hylauronidase is required to treat the area.

Thank you for your question. From your photos, this does not appear to be a bruise but more likely melisma. This can be treated with hydroquinone and it is advisable to stay away from laser treatments as they can make it worse. I recommend having a follow up with your treating physician for an...
