Can lip fillers migrate into your cheek?

Asked By:jla219 in Jersey City, NJ

Is it possible for restalyne lip injections to migrate to my cheek right next to my upper lip? Can feel a mass inside my mouth and it has caused my cheek to swell and is very painful. I acquired this mass 2-3 days after injections. Also, I've already went to my dentist thinking it may have to do with a tooth but was told they couldn't see anything serious going on in my mouth the cause a mass to form like that in my cheek. X-rays were done of my upper right jaw.
