Is it normal for chin filler (Juvederm or Radiesse) to swell up and hurt 2 months after the injection?

February 4, 2019
Asked By:BellaNYC1 in New York, NY

I got one syringe of filler about 2 months ago for my chin at a reputable place in the city. I had the usual swelling, pain and no bruising but now a couple of months passed and out of no where it started to hurt a lot. As if I hit my chin really hard. Now it’s a tiny bit swollen and the area feels very hard and stiff, like a rock. Feels as if I just got the injection. I’m very concerned that I’m getting these symptoms months later. My under eye and cheek fillers are completely fine.
