Recently had Juvederm for cheek enhancement, done in an effort to correct the undereye hollowness and nasolabial folds. Unfortunately, the filler injected in the area under the eye and beside the nose has caused me to not be able to smile properly. I can only smile half as wide and an asymmetrical smile at that (causing a rather tactless nephew to comment that I look like I just had a stroke). I need the filler removed, but can't seem to find any information. Any advice on how to get rid of it?
The good news about using hyaluranic acid products such as juvederm and restylane is that if you don't like it, your physician can inject and enzyme to dissolve it. If you were recently injected, I would recommend waiting several weeks for things to settle before judging your outcome. It would take a lot of product to produce the changes you are describing but it is conceivable that it may occur as a result of swelling.
