My surgeon has mentioned that Juvederm "absorbs water" post injection into the face. What does this mean exactly. Is this water that's splashed on the face, or from consumption?

Absolutely, Juvederm comes in a prepackaged sterile syringe meant to be used on a single patient at a single session. There are no fillers in the US that come in a multi-use vial. Sculptra however (not a filler but a volumizer that works by stimulating your own collagen) does come...
I do not know of anyone that "dilutes" juvederm. Perhaps you did not get as many syringes injected as before. Or as one other physician mentioned, it was injected deeper.
Swelling does occur in m any cases after injection of juvederm or any other filler product. It will probably improve over the next week or so. However, you should be able to contact your doctor if you are concerned.
