How can you tell the difference between swelling or product after Juvederm Ultra Plus injections? I had Juvederm injections 1 week ago. The area where I had majority of the product placed appears swollen. However, the area where there was not any product placed is also swollen. Now I'm no longer sure how to tell whether what is on the area is swelling or just the filller.

First, you didn't mention how long ago that you had the hyaluronidase injected. I would wait a few weeks for the filler. I do not recommend Botox to the tear trough it will not do anything.
Were you injected into the folds or the cheeks themselves? Injecting the cheeks themselves can actually lift the cheek and soften the nasolabial folds a bit. Direct injection of filler into the folds improves them as well.
