What has caused post-injection swelling in my lower jaw/chin, 3+ months after Juvederm Voluma injections?

January 2, 2017
Asked By:bravoch in Toronto, ON

In September 2016, I had Juviderm Voluma injectibles in my cheeks and chin/lower jaw. On New Year's Day, January 1, 2017, I was nursing a hangover - I couldn't keep anything down. I think I was dehydrated. This morning, Jan. 2, 2017, I woke up and my chin, lower jaw were very swollen. My lower right jaw is more swollen than when I initially had the injections, but without the bruising. What has caused this? And more importantly, what can I do to reduce the swelling?
