Burning During Cheek Fillers - Is this something I should be concerned about?

November 11, 2022
Asked By:Fabulous959363 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada

I got cheek fillers done a couple of months back and I should be due to get them touched up soon. However, as the filler was being injected I experience a very uncomfortable burning sensation on my left side only (the right side was fine). The left side was then a lot more red than the right. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I avoid getting them done again?
