I had juviderm filler injected in my cheeks about 6 months ago. In recent weeks it seems the filler has migrated lower to my jaw area. my jawline and neck now appear swollen, and the original injection site looks like it did before the fillers were placed. Its very strange and uncomfortable! Can anything be done to correct this problem, or do I just have to wait until the product is absorbed? Is this dangerous?

Answer: Filler migration? Reverse filler with hyaluronidase
These may be fordyce spots. You may also have swelling which can be typical. Icing and cold compresses may give improvement. I would wait a full 2 weeks before judging the results. If it is after the two week wait, you can have the filler reversed with hyaluronidase.
I hope this helps!
It's too soon to tell what your final results will be. You have swelling, which can be asymmetrical, and last 1-2 weeks after lip injections. If you're unhappy with your final results, you can have it reversed with hyaluronidase and try a different technique next time. See an expert.
The filler can be reversed with hyaluronidase and should be treated with topical vasodilators (nitropaste) as prevention. I recommend following up with your injector today.
