See provider: Although there is no numbing, the nerve can have dysesthesias or abnormal burning sensation, tightness, tingling, etc if affected. Please return to your physician or provider who did the procedures and ask about these side effects for more information. Hopefully, there is no infection.

Nerve injury: it is unlikely but possible that you have nerve damage from the injection itself or the filler itself. The nerve typically regenerates slowly if it was damaged during injection, if vasculature was occluded from product the product can be dissolved. Depending on what type of juvederm you had placed, it should be close to dissolved by now. Best to see ur injector. Hyaluronidase is another option.

Nerve healing?: The juvederm at 6 mo is probably for the most part gone. In that area which lacks movement the product does last longer than in areas with more motion ie lips NL folds. If the nerve was touched by the needle during injection provided the lidocaine mixed in the product didn't already numb it you would feel a shock or a pinch. The burning you are feeling now should resolve
