Why Do I Get Infection After Juvederm Injections?

Terihome
Last two times I got Juvederm injections in my lips, my upper left lip swelled to a massive size which caused it to collapse in a downward position. It was very heavy, stiff, and extremely painful. It filled up with pus forming a head, I pushed on it and a massive amount of pus came out, which of course I needed to be antibiotics afterwords. How can I prevent this from happening again? :(
