Thank you for your question. I am sorry about your concern. I would advise you to follow up with your injector for an examination.

Hello, Porfinmehecurado,
If you were injected by a licensed physician, then I would suggest returning to that provider for a follow up appointment. If you were injected by an esthetician or someone who does not hold a medical license, then I would contact your primary care physician for a follow up. Best of luck!
