I had juvederm 2 days ago. The doc used a dental block. Left side of my face was 100% numb. Right side was not. The juv was injected into my smile lines. Right side is perfect, left was messed up with a long deep line on the outside of the frown lines that was not there until the injection. He told me to massage the area. The line is gone but left side looks like someone beat me and my smile is now crooked. Could the numbness effect the injection & cause golf ball size swelling in my cheek.
