What happened here? Will I ever see my baseline face again after subcision & Radiesse for acne scars? (Photos)

Asked By:Analina in Avon Park, Florida, Vereinigte Staaten

As part of an acne scar treatment (subcision) I had Radiesse (1:1 diluted, 1ml for both cheeks) injected in the subcutaneous. Ever since my chin and jaw have doubled in size (look many and aged) and are just undefined. It almost seems like filler is under my jaw/chin looking like a puffy double chin. It either has to be something with the filler or the cannula subcision (sagging, ligament damage). Did not gain weight. Is it realistic that this might be a temporary problem only? Thanks!
