Hello, I had juvederm ultra plus injected into my lips (0.5 ml) a little over two weeks ago. Every morning I notice my lips feel and look fuller and slightly swollen. After an hour or so they go back down to normal. Is this common? I also feel a slight twitching/tingling in my bottom lip from time to time. This never happened before the juvederm. Could this be related to the juvederm and is this something to be worried about?

Because it happened several weeks after the juvederm I do not think it caused your rash. Typically if someone is going to have a reaction it will be closer to the time of injection and usually in the area of the injection.
