How long will this cannula wound last? (Photo)

Coldwater143Jul 7, 2016
Yesterday I had bellafill injected by a doctor using the cannula technique. I've had it done once before but a needle was used. This time there was a hole from the cannula. It looks like I popped a pimple because there's a big bump where the cannula went through. How long is it going to stay like this. It's inflamed.

In general, different fillers can be injected in the same area if using US FDA approved fillers. It should be no problem what you propose to do and some of my colleagues to this routinely so you get more global volumization with some immediate long lasting improvement as well.
