Juvederm placed in only my lips. Had dental block as well. It's day 5 and my cheeks and face are still swollen

LLL666Dec 12, 2015
Hello I had juvederm placed in ONLY my lips I also had a dental block done as well this is the 4th or 5th time I have had my lips done with a dental block and have never experienced so much facial swelling it is now day 5 .. I usually have restylane this time I tried juvederm but I believe that isn't the issue because it's my cheeks is this normal for dental blocks and why am I experiencing this now and never before? How long will it last?? What can I do to make it go away ?? Thanks
