Should chin filler hurt over a year later? (Photos)

Asked By:fillerfail in New York, New York

I had HA fillers a year and a half ago. The were placed superficially in the chin and cheeks where I already had type 1 rosacea. I instantly reacted with swelling and flushing. They were micro dissolved. There’s still a patch of Restalyne Defyne in my chin that didn’t dissolve. There’s discomfort in the spot.nI would have thought they would have absorbed by now. Should I continue to wait it out? It’s been almost 18 months.
