Throbbing and headache sensation after Juvederm cheek fillers and nasolabial fold. When will this pain subside?

Question

2 days ago i got 1ml of Jurvederm in my cheeks and then 1ml in my Nasolabiol Fold and the rest in my lips. My cheeks are still really sore and my face still looks vert tight and puffy, it has gone down in my lips. When will this pain subside? I am worried that the puffy/tight look on my face is the final result?

Swelling and soreness is not uncommon after injections.  This can take up to two weeks to resolve.  However, it is best to contact your injector for an evaluation just to ensure that what you are experiencing is a part of normal healing and nothing problematic.

after filler injections the area may appear red and swollen. it may be tender to touch also. pain is unusual and may be a sign of a complication so it would be best to get the treatment reviewed by your practitioner

Pain and swelling is completely normal after any medical procedure that consists of puncturing skin and creating an inflammatory response. It can take up to three weeks for bruising and swelling to subside. This depends on factors such as your overall health and physiology. For example, if you're a smoker it will take longer for the healing process to take place.

Hopefully, it is temporary and will subside.  You SHOULD see your injector asap just to make certain you do not have some ischemia occurring due to inadvertent product in a vessel or swelling enough to cause vascular occlusion.  If that is a possibility (which I hope it is not), your injector should be able to dissolve some of it and restore blood supply with injections of hyaluronidase.
Good luck to you!
