Looking at the progression of pictures, the swelling has improved significantly on day 5 and the facial asymmetry is less pronounced. This is unfortunate but the trend is encouraging. I recommend close interval follow up with your provider. Being very optimistic, the swelling should be significantly improved in 2 weeks

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you are having from your filler treatment.  These reactions are not typical and need to be followed by your doctor.  Swelling should gradually improve over the course of two weeks, not get worse.
