It has been over a year and a half since my last injections with Juvederm. As soon as I got the injections done about a few weeks later I became extremely ill. I ended up in the ER because my lips and tear troughs swelled so bad. Shortly after anything or any infection, UTI, Sinuses, any sort of illness my fillers swell. October of 2018 it happened again.
