No relief from nerve pain after cheek filler
Went back to the injecting doc this week and he said he same as he did before - "don't touch it". No advice on how to decrease swelling, relieve pain. Docs who can't handle the problems that arise from injecting shouldn't be doing them. I really am hoping this damage is no permanent as I can not live like this. Wish I would have just gotten wrinkled gracefully and accepted that as Lord knows I earned those wrinkles. :(
Cheek Filler Gone Wrong!
I had .5 cc of Perlane in each cheek. The board certified dermatologist injector caused me to get trigeminal neuralgia. I am still suffering almost 6 months later. He denies causing the problem. Now I can't have more fillers, or laser, and since I am on chemotherapy and my skin is sensitive, I can't have peels. I am stuck. Other doctors won't admit the injector made a mistake, either. I did this to feel BETTER about myself. Now I feel much worse.

I am 10 weeks post perlane injection (.5 ml) to each cheek. My BC dermatologist injected soooooo deeply as Perlane was new to him. I was left with nerve irritation which has gotten a bit better, eye pain, and pain in my cheekbone which he said are bruises caused by the injection. If I wasn't fighting stage 4 cancer I might have the energy to put up with this. However, his negligence (no other word for it) has left me depressed, and stripped me of all self confidence. I got the filler to increase my confidence, not destroy it. I can only hope this "lesion" resolves sooner than later as I have been searching for answers/help and have found none. Every day I feel as if I was punched in the face.
Provider Review
Not saying
Great bedside manner. But his denying that he caused me harm is inexcusable. He does have an artistic eye, and this procedure should not have been that complicated. I did see him twice after the injection but then the office would not return my calls or respond to email.
