I Had Ellanse Filler in my Cheeks and Cheekbone Area About 32 Hours Ago and It is Still Very Swollen and Bruised. I had Ellanse injections yesterday and now I am very worried. I look quite terrible. Very swollen face with is very wide and flat and one side's cheek appears fuller than the other side. How long before this goes down.
