6 months ago I had 1 ml Juvederm Voluma as cheek filler but the doctor placed it other then the cheek (beetween ear and eye see picture). I hate the result. I feel like my face is pulled up and it feels streched. Two weeks ago I had a terrible week with bad sleeping and one day I woke up and saw that the corner of my mouth was torn down.
