Swollen in the forehead after injection with filler (Photo)

September 8, 2017
Asked By:yassieee in Washington, DC

I had filler injection yesterday on my forehead to fix a small scare I had from chickenpox. It's swollen, and it's very heavy on my forehead when I go down. When will it go away? Can i reverse it? The doctor has me on steroids now. I also had under the eye injections where she hit a nerve and my left side of face got numb for 2 hours. But my eyes are red. When will it go away? Will the steroids remove the injection under the eye?
