Can Under Eye Juvederm Affect Lymphatic Drainage in the Face?

User Avatar

Can Juvederm under the eyes can hinder normal lymphatic drainage in the undereye and surrounding area? I get monthly lymphatic drainage sessions to manage some transient facial edema I acquired from an upper jaw surgery. Two weeks ago i had Juvederm placed under my eyes and today I went in for my regular massage session and my therapist said that she was unable to drain my cheek area at all and said that the fillers may be blocking the lymph nodes. Can someone please tell me if this is possible?
