Asked By:Jamie48 in New York, NY

2 weeks ago I went to another clinic For lip filler. She was so shocked at how the chin filler was injected so she massaged it for me. A few days ago I woke up with an incredibly swollen chin on one side. I went back to the first Injector who prescribed antibiotics (fluxocilin then doxycycline) The swelling has gone down but it feels rock hard. Now I see a little wide nodule which has formed inside my mouth. Whats happening?
