Does Juvederm Ever Leak from the Injection Site?

aginginla
I had Juvederm injected in my lips yesterday and this morning one of the injection sites was painful. When I washed my face it bled a tiny bit so I applied a little pressure and some clear gel-like substance came out. It stopped after I left it alone. I am guessing this was some Juvederm, but am worried it could be an infection so I put some antibiotic ointment on the area. I am really scared now that I will get an infection and want to know if anyone else had this or if it is normal?
