Actual RealSelf PatienComment: Hi, I got 2ml hylauranic filler in my jawline in February to help with my side profile. Had really bad swelling on right side but it went down after two weeks after expected. However, since getting the fillers, the right side of my face which I suspect has the most filler swells every month before my period. It’s very uncomfortable and at times a little painful. It feels like a 2-3 cm ball in my jaw and is movable. Usually goes away in 2 days. Is this normal? What should I do?

Dr. Persky’s Reply: The swelling that you are experiencing is not normal. You should revisit your injecting physician for evaluation, preferably when it is swollen. Good luck and be well.
