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.

I always suggest patients wait a week before having any deep facial massages or ultrasound or radio frequency procedure on the face after Restylane injections.
Hi @marieatoniette! Tyndall effect occurs when the filler is injected too superficial in the tear trough area. I recommend dissolving the filler with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
Fixing your smile would be a combination of fixing your teeth through a cosmetic dentist and fillers such as Restylane into your lips. Before getting injected into your lips I would consult an orthodontist since your bite itself may be affecting your smile.
