I had restylane injected into my cheeks a few weeks ago. This morning I went to the chiropractor and laid on the table face down in the "doughnut" hole for my face. When I left my cheekbones hurt. They still hurt now about four hours later. I'm very worried that it is the restylane and that I did something to shift it or anything else related to the filler that could cause this soreness. I've been going to the chiropractor for years and never had this happen. I am very, very worried!
