Redness on cheeks 9 days post juvederm injection normal? (photos)

liberty5
I had a syringe of juvederm injected 9 days ago in my cheeks with cannula. Have had juvederm/voluma twice before without incident. This time, three days in I developed redness, dryness around area injected. No pain, just patchy redness, some tingling and I flush easily which makes blotches more pronounced. Injector saw me 4 days post injection and said everything ok and some redness can be expected. I'm worried because I haven't had this before and it's been 9 days. Is this normal redness?
