HA dermal filler...pain after 4 weeks, should I be concerned?

Asked By:millie1977

Emervel was injected into my cheeks 4 weeks ago. One side of my face is swollen, numb, feels heavy & sore. It feels like the aftermath of a blow to the cheek! My injector perscribed antibiotics thinking it may be the start of an infection. I've taken these for 4 days but no improvement. The product was administered with a cannula with some force on this side and it hurt. The pain has not subsided nor got any worse. Previously I have had Juvederm Voluma injected with a needle with no problems.
