Is this swelling or filler migration? (Photo)

Asked By:farahharis

I got filler to the tip of my nose and cheekbones about 3 months ago. Right away the left side of my nose (sinus area) and left side of the tip of my nose were very swollen. My injector said it was just swelling and should go away. ...3 months later my face is still very uneven. The 1st picture is before, 2nd is immediately after injection. You can see the left side of my nose tip and sinus is swollen. The other pictures are from today. It is still swollen and off. What is this???
