Swollen submandibular lymph nodes after botox/ dermal fillers?

Question

I had dermal filler in my nasolabial fold on Nov 1. I also had dysport on my crows feet and forhead. I have noticed 2 swollen submandibular lymph nodes. I dont have any dental/ gum infection. I don't have any signs of infection. No chills , fever. The lymph nodes are movable. Not tender. 2. Size of grape. I am in good health. No med conditions. 43 year old female I have had these same injections for the past 2-3 years Do you think this is related to the fillers/ botox? Who should I consult?

Swollen nodes can be a sign of infection, but this would be very rare after treatment with Dysport or fillers to the nasolabial folds.I would monitor for local signs of infection at the sites of injection (redness, swelling, pain), and if there are none, I would not be too concerned. If the nodes continue to enlarge, it may be a good idea to see your family doctor for an opinion.
