Yesterday I Had Juvaderm Voluma in my Cheekbones, Today My Face Is Swollen and Uneven. What To Do?

48hours later im starting to freak out ..im still swollen in my left side but i can still easily see she misplaced the product plus giving my left side much more volume..it looks deformed as it is placed over my cheekbone leaving an unatural gap to the temples ..i will wait another 24hours but then should i correct the right with more product? or dissolve only my left side and do it again? My doctor said it was because i had damaged tissue ..but i think it was her first time with voluma.

I know you said you look terrible, but reinjecting now, or dissolving now, can lead to more problems as the swelling and under skin bruising settles down. I understand it's miserable to wait, but really nothing can or should... more
