I had touch up filler for under eye/cheek area for eye bags 17 days ago which resulted in persistent swelling and pillow face/chipmunk cheeks. Have been taking Arnica, Bromelaine, antihistamines regularly. Applying Arnica gel becuase the burising was pretty bad. I also look older now probably because my face looks fat.
