Is this a normal reaction to the Revolax filler in the jawline? (Photos)

Question

2 and a half weeks ago I had my jawline enhanced 2ml either side with the Revolax filler. I was so pleased with the result and i was impressed with the minimal swelling i seemed to have! A week later my jaw looked wider and the definition has gone down drastically! I was told 21 days to settle but im now anxious as to why my jaw has not gone down. Could this be part of the recovery process and im taking longer to heal or is this water?

Revolax is not approved in the US and surprised you had this done in the states. 2ml per side of an HA in a young person is alot of volume and I'm not sure that this is swelling. It just might be product. I would have another visit with your provider and go over things. I assume that this can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Usually swelling from a HA filler will last a week to 10 days. I've have trademarked the term "reJAWvenation" and train/lecture about this throughout the US and internationally. It is a great correction with high satisfaction. It is important to not make a younger female too wide though, because this masculinizes the face. The reJAWvenator!

The longevity of the filler depends on the individuals reaction to that filler. It is possible that your body simply broke down the filler very quickly even though it's quite rare. In patients who show this type of reaction with one product, I always recommend trying one of the products from the Restylane line. Good luck from New York City
