I got Ellanse filler in my mid cheeks and nasolabial folds, 3 months ago, however one side got extremely puffy and swollen, even though less of the substance was injected in it, and it is still more raised than the other side of my face. when pressing on the areas I fell a dense nodule-like thing underneath the skin of these areas. it feels like a lump, but can be felt only, not seen. I had this filler done before and nothing like this happened. help!
