Injector Hit Nerve in Cheekbone W Juvaderm and Eye Twitching?

lumpylip34
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. My eye on the side where she hit the nerve has also started to twitch ALOT. Please help. Will the twitching go away? Could it be the nerve causing it?
