Asked By:gkgirl1 in New York, NY

I had injections placed in my face ( mid face ) for more volume but im not sure what they used. How can I find out what was used or if it was silicone? can an x-ray or any other kind of test reveal if silicone was used in my face? since 1 month later i am still very swollen, red, and left with 2 dimples on tear trough area.
