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

Question

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. I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing these symptoms. I don't believe that the burning and numbness in the mouth are related to your Botox or Juvederm treatment. If these symptoms persist I would suggest following up with your injector or another qualified physician.

Thank you for your question! For the symptoms you have mentioned, I don't think it will be related to botox and while it may be unusual for Juvederm, it will still be best to confirm this with your injector. Best of luck!
