Delayed reaction to Juvederm? Allergy or infection? (photos)

Asked By:bocochan in Sweden, SE

Hi, About 7 weeks ago, I've received an injection of Juvederm Volbella in my tear troughs and upper cheeks, and Volift in my lips. Everything was fine until this morning when I woke up with massively swollen lips. I also noticed that my cheek bones started getting a bit sore yesterday morning but didn't pay too much attention at the time. It's not the first time I'm getting fillers injected. Any idea what this could be? Thanks in advance for your help.
