Got 1cc Juvederm 11 wks ago. ENT really hurt my left cheek during injection. It stayed swollen, painful & red for 10 wks so I decided to hyalse with oculoplastic aesthetic surgeon very experienced in hylase who thinks it may be irritating infraorbital nerve. (The hyalase injection in the sore area was extremely painful) No problems from hylase but left cheek hasn't improved & it's been 6 days. I am 4 weeks into a 6 week course of antilbiotics as precaution. What should I do next? Awful situation
