Yes. Swelling may take up to two weeks to go away and so will most side effects. I recommend you wait two weeks after you’ve been injected, then if the problem persists or gets worse I’d recommend seeing the injector who treated you to determine what is causing the uncomfortable reaction.
In all likelihood you are suffering from some swelling in the region, and this should get better. If you are unhappy with the filler in a week or two, you can have it dissolved.
You likely have some swelling, which is common after injection with fillers. The swelling should go down. If you still have saliva collecting in the corners of your mouth, see your doctor for a correction. You may need the filler dissolved or massaged.
The typical side effects associated with hyaluronic acid injections such as Juvederm or Restylane include bruising, redness, swelling and pain. These occur in as high as 90% of patients and usually resolve within one week. It is possible that some of these side effects may be affected by the injection techniques such as fan like injections, higher injection volumes, and more rapid injection times. I always recommend waiting at least one to two weeks for the swelling to go down after the treatment before worrying about any long-term adverse effects.
The most plausible explanation for saliva pooling after Juvederm injections at the corners of your mouth is that there is some bruising which has temporarily interfered with normal muscle contraction. This will be transient, but consult with your physician.
