I had half a syringe of juvaderm injected into both of my cheekbones. The injector hit a nerve on my left side and said that side would be more swollen since she hit the nerve there. 3 days later the swelling is gone but the area where the nerve was hit is a tad lighter that my skin color and a bit hallow and hurts and my cheeks look not proportioned.
