I got the procedure done on the 29th of Oct. I have dumplings on both sides of my face but the worst part is the pain runs from the temporal area to the zygomatic bone entering into the right eye at times. I think they messed up my facial nerve.

I am in pain and not happy with the results so far. Any solutions?
