Is pain in your cheek, around your eye, and up to your eyebrow normal after Restylane cheek fillers? (photo)

Thank you for your question.  Usually after these procedures are performed, side effects like pain and swelling tend to linger for a couple of weeks depending on the patient.  I hope that by now your pain has settled and are enjoying your results.  If you are still experiencing pain, I suggest seeking medical attention.  All the best!

I am hoping that you are better at this point. I wanted to answer your question because I think it’s a good one. First, filler placed deeply on the cheekbone can hurt (feel like a bruise) for weeks. Tenderness and fluctuating swelling can last the entire duration that a bruise is present or even longer. Pain can radiate along nerve pathways or in the entire area of injection. You did the right thing by icing and taking Tylenol. Don’t ever be afraid to go back to your provider for follow up or reassessment. You just paid a lot of money for this procedure and you have the right to ask any and all of your questions. Ask why she used more on one side - maybe you needed more on that side.
