Asked By:Kelly Jane in Atlanta, GA

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?

Answer: This isn't typical and is probably not a result of your filler treatment.
