After 11 weeks of hell, a ophthalmic/oculoplasitc aesthetic surgeon removed my Juvederm Voluma with hyaluronidase. First time getting cheek filler, ENT hit what felt like a nerve during the procedure, she denies this. Have inflammation & sharp pains since on same cheek which was aggrevating my eye & nerve on upper lip. New doc said I had infraorbital nerve injury, no infection. Now 3 days after hylase my left cheek is still sore & I have a sore lymph gland, but it's not swollen on left back jaw.
