I had fillers injected 3 weeks ago. I had 0.5ml injected in my tear troughs (0.5ml), cheeks and smile lines (1.0ml for both sides) and lips (0.5ml) and Botox in forehead and crows feet. Now, my right cheek is significantly bigger the left and my smile is uneven. The left side of my mouth doesn’t elevate as much as the right and the left half of my lip is thicker than the right. Non of this asymmetry was present before I had fillers injected. What can be done to correct the facial asymmetry?

Thanks for the question.
I agree that this mostly looks like poorly placed filler. Anyone who injects you should definitely have asked about your previous eye surgery. Most strabismus (squint) surgery doesn’t cause any scarring in the cheek/lower eyelid and so I don’t think we can blame this on ...
I haven't gotten a complaint like yours before. It is not a side effect of the fillers. However, there is a possibility that the fillers were injected to an area that's close to your nerves. I strongly recommend you to get in touch with your doctor.

Hi @Wejdan123! I would recommend waiting 2 weeks for the filler to settle in. If you continue to have the lump after two weeks, the filler can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima.
