What are the symptoms of damage to the infraorbital nerve?

Summer girl 13Jul 5, 2015
I had .5 cc of Perlane in each cheek almost 3 weeks ago. That night the right side of my face was very painful. I returned to the doctor after 2 weeks, board cert. dermatologist, and he said no infection and he possibly hit a blood vessel and to let it heal. I still have some tingling, occasional shooting pain in my jaw, and a sore spot under my right cheek bone. NSAIDS not helping. Could this be nerve damage? Thank you so much. I don't know where to turn to at this point.

Fillers like Belotero, Volbella, and Restylane Silk are good for improving under the eyes, but keep in mind that a combination approach will give the most improvement. My patients try to get non-surgical treatments to avoid surgery, so we use fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP and stem cells. I...

I suggest getting a second opinion and seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with expertise in fillers to help reverse what you had done before and use new fillers to improve what was done in the past.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Volbella, Restylane, and Juvederm are good fillers to use to create a symmetrical lip. NovaThreads can also be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. Technique will be important here, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I recommend getting a formal evaluation...
