No: I don't believe the nerve is dying. If it were injured during the procedures you had, the symptoms would appear earlier than 4 months after. Were the procedures on both sides? Any injected cosmetic substance, ie juvederm, will be metabolized and broken down after a period of time. The process may trigger an inflammatory response that will cause irritation- temporary- of the nearby nerve in cheek.

No: Your nerve is not dying, but you should have you doc check you out.
