Carmen91sApr 22, 2018
It was painful getting the cheeks done felt similar to nerve pain, It's been 2 days now and my cheeks are swollen, hard to touch and painful (my lips are also swollen but not that painful) am worried about my cheeks as they feel really sore even my eye area feels sore and I have had a headache n don't feel too well (I could be coming down with something I don't know) do they look normal in the pictures? And does that all sound normal? Thanks
