Swollen filler months after getting it - I also have strep throat. Should I be concerned?

March 28, 2019
Asked By:Lagirl45 in Los Angeles, CA

I currently have strep throat and am on Cefdinir for it. It has been three days since I’ve been sick and I just took a nap and woke up and my chin filler is super sore and a tiny bit swollen with no redness and my cheek filler is a little bit as well. I haven’t had the filler touched in months. I’m just wondering if maybe since I’ve been sleeping a lot of I slept on it funny or if this is something to be concerned about. Let me know!
