I Had Sub Q Injected Onto my Cheekbones and 3 Months Later Swelling for 5 Days - Why?

February 6, 2011
Asked By:London1397 in London

The swelling has gone down but has reoccured before when I had it injected in my cheekbones higher up. I had 1cc injected each time and it seems to occur when I am feeling run down.I am going again to have more added but am worried about the long term effects of Sub Q on my body if I have these reactions.
