Sudden numbness 1 month after Juvederm fillers into lips

Question

I had 1 ml of juvederm injected into my lips about 1 month ago & had numbness/bruising/lumps as i expected. 1 month on Ive noticed numbness in my lips, cheeks, mouth area, even chin! Is this due to the juvederm/could the injector have hit a nerve with the needle? Could a reaction to that really be this delayed? Started to panic now, as Ive got a slight numb feeling over my body (even under feet) but it is worse around my mouth/cheeks, making me think it has spread. Is this linked to lip fillers?

While numbness at the injection site is pretty common after getting dermal fillers, sudden numbness one month after your treatment is not likely to be related to the JUVÉDERM®. Check back in with your regular physician to rule out any underlying concerns. Best of luck to you.

This isn't typical after a Juvederm injection. I recommend following up with your Doctor or neurologist for a consultation. I hope this helps!

Marek Kacki, MD · Answer

The distribution of numbness you are describing involves moire than one nerve so the chances of having a lip injection related injury are practically zero. Very similar symptoms are caused by hyperventilation and are related to low level of exhaled CO2 that leads to a sudden drop of calcium level and  numbness. Please see your doctor. Good luck!

This is definitely not related to your injection with Juvederm. You must see a neurologist as soon as possible and good luck from New York City

I am concerned because of the delay in the numbness. Its possible to feel that numb immediately after the injection but not this late and certainly not in the feet etc.I would see your doctor preferably a neurologist asap to make sure you don't have a neurological issue in its early phases .
