What are the odds of the infraorbital nerve repairing itself? It was damaged during a Juvederm Voluma dermal filler procedure.

September 10, 2015
Asked By:chanel11 in United Kingdom, GB

3 months ago my Aesthetic Surgeon used a cannula & either hit a branch of nerves or hit a blood vessel which caused a bleed, causing scar tissue to form around a nerve. First 5/6 wks minor discomfort with inflammation then I started getting stabbing/shooting pains after the inflammation died down. Constant dull pain, waterfall nerve feelings above lip by nostril and under eye bag. I had days where symptoms disappear but not many. What are my chances of a full recovery & how long will it take?
