Will pressure used when molding a filler after injection cause damage to my own soft tissue?

November 29, 2015
Asked By:firmafest in Los Angeles, CA

I recently had perlane and juvederm in my chin and cheeks. I don't like the look and now planning on removing it with hyalase/hyaluronidase. My practitioner used very very heavy pressure to mold the filler after injection. It really hurt and i was really bruised and swollen afterwards. I'm really scared that she damaged my own facial fat/skin or other soft tissues and that I will look worse than before i had the filler once I remove it. Is this possible? Feel like I've ruined my face :(
