Had filler injected into the middle part of my jawline 2.5 years ago.A few wks after my Covid jab (4-5 months after filler),the right side of my jaw swelled up where filler was injected.Looked like a gumball had been inserted into my face.Now it’s the size of a pea after many hyaluronidase & steroid injections. Is there anything else the Dr can do to get rid of it?They were next considering lasering it. Could that work?And could I still get filler in the future?
