Question

Is it going to stay this way? What should I do? (I know im not supposed to touch my face totally forgot I had fillers done on the same day same day)

Dear A123AA,Thank you for your question. It is unlikely that you moved the fillers by picking on a pimple but I would suggest contacting your original injector just to be safe. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Popping a pimple would not likely move your cheek filler, and without photos only you can determine that. It takes anywhere from 7-14 days for any swelling from filler to go down. I recommend meeting with your provider to determine your outcome. Best, Jason Emer

It would be pretty unlikely that you moved the filler from what you describe, but it would be a good idea to chat with your injector. You could probably just send them photos and they can reassure you over the phone. If, however, the bump gets painful, red or oozes pus you should see your injector right away. An infection in the area of injection is something to be avoided. Hope that helps.

Dear A1234A,it is hard to tell without an examination. I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Based on your description, I cannot tell exactly what is going on? I believe you need to see your injector to examine the area and make a diagnosis.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
