Help! Why is my jaw swollen after Juvederm lip injections? I got one full syringe of Juvederm injected into both lower and upper lips two days ago (on Tuesday afternoon) and now my jaws are swollen. My left side is worse than my right so I look totally disproportionate! I am a first-timer so I'm very worried as to why this part of my face is swelling if the injections were limited to my lips?
