Can injections in the cheeks cause headaches?

Question

Kyle Coleman, MD · Answer

Generally, fillers in the medial portion of the cheek do not cause headaches.  However, fillers injected near the temples may cause some temporal pain, pain with chewing, and occasionally a slight head ache that usually resolve in a few days.  If pain with fillers worsens or doesn't abate, it is always a good idea to see your physician to be evaluated in person.
