Thank you for your question and I am sorry that you are experiencing negative side effects. Please consult the doctor who performed your treatment.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is not typical after injections. I recommend following up with your injector. If necessary, the filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase. It may take a series of treatments. Best, Dr. Emer

Numbness is not typical post injection.  It is normal to have some numbess for maybe an hour after injection as Juvederm syringes have lidocaine premixed into them however past that it is not normal.  It's possible that placement of the filler may be causing some nerve compression and needs to be addressed by your injector.  It will need to be dissolved.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

This is not typical after the injections you had and honestly I have never seen it in my own clinic. I would followup with your injector.
