A week and a half ago, I had Juvederm injected into my cheek (near my nose) and Restylane in the tear trough. Two days later, I developed serious sinus congestion and clogged ears. The filled areas look healthy but my sinuses are completely clogged and congested. I can feel fluid sitting around my nose and lots of pressure on my nose and forehead. Could the filler be clogging my sinuses or putting to much pressure on them?
