Juvederm in 11's After Receiving Botox For 4 Years. Experiencing Swelling and Bruising, Why?

d_darma
I have had botox injections in between my eyebrows for over 4 years but still have a line that will not soften, so my Dr. suggested juvederm. Well I had the area filled yesterday (and injected with a little more botox afterward) and I am noticing extreme swelling ALL around the area that was injected. There is a little line of bruising from where the injection was made but I am really confused as to why it would be swollen all around and below the area. Did it migrate?
