Asked By:Forceful9335 in New London, CT

I had 5ML of perfectha filler spread across my cheekbones , jaw and chin. It has been 48hours after and although I have no bruising I have been experiencing aching pain and headaches especially behind eye socket despite taking pain killers. Is this normal or should I be worried?
