Would a numbing injection in the front upper gum make the gum swell?

Old denaby
I had some work done on implant posts to keep new false teeth in place, the front top gum was numbed with an injection to do the final fixing of the posts but straight after this the dentist took an impression of my top gum for the new teeth . The new dentures are a tiny bit sloppy. So do gums swell when they are injected with the numbing solution?
