Asked By:difficult in Big Indian, NY

I had Perlane in some acne scars of the cheek and one large hollow created by a badly done subcision in '14. Day 1. normal tightness and some pain. I touched my cheek LIGHTLY and felt a throb Day 2. Some tightness Day 3. Almost completely fine, but when I touched again VERY lightly the numbness began Now (Day 4): still got the numbness and buzzing Doc thinks it is a bruise but I'm certain it's a nerve issue. Does this resolve? I want to get it dissolved but terrified of causing further problems.
