Is it normal for the doctor to squeeze and pinch your face after injecting juvederm?

Asked By:jenafer in Seattle, WA

After the injection he pushed and squeezed and pinched my face at the injection site so hard that it hurt and after about ten minutes I asked him to stop. I realize there will be pain with these procedures so I do not complain, but after a while, I simply couldn't take it. I thought it was a little much and now I have huge bruises on my face. I want to know if this is normal before I write a review.
