Asked By:charchar7 in North Carolina, NC

First, I am a RN in an aesthetic practice +we don't/rarely see this (We have lg #pts, MD is the injector). I had Voluma w/Allergan trainer MD 22 mos ago. My 1st filler. Was tender, but was told N for a few days. Days lasted wks, mos... R side cheek/nose-swelling+ tenderness off/on- @approx 10 mos, area dissolved with Hyalase, K3,+po antibx. Periods of tenderness along orbital rims+ this am, lg L cheek. Thoughts? Give time or require po meds+ Hyalase? Should I EVER consider a filler again?
