My Juvederm fillers have become swollen and tender throughout my face after a vomiting bug. What caused this to happen? (Photo)

Asked By:tomkipcat in UK

I've had a 24 hour vomiting bug. During the last six hours of the 24 hours, i noticed the Hyaluronic filler on the left side of my chin had become hard and tender. This has now extended to the left side of my chin and through the fillers in my cheek bones. All my fillers are tender to touch. The swelling and soreness is similar to when i first had fillers put in. My chin was done 8 months ago, my cheeks have been filled for 2 years. Will this subside, has it been caused by retching?
