Jawline filler, are obvious lumps normal at first?

[Lumpsandbumps4]

I've just got jaw filler for the first time and it's really lumpy, particularly on one side. It feels and looks like I have 3 marbles under my skin

The injector is a HCP and all above board so I'm sure everything was done correctly but I'm a bit apprehensive as I was warned there will be swelling but wasn't expecting this.

I've sent her a message but she hasn't seen it yet.

Is this normal?

Bloody hell. Never again.

Your neck looks nice and unlined. How old are you OP? Please be happy with your lovely skin and make this the last time you meddle with it x

I'm sorry to hear about your hair, Pink. The timing couldn't be worse could it? Congratulations in advance of your wedding though.

It'll be doctors only for me now too.

I think I'm going to have to go back to her to have it dissolved though.

Hi explain I'm 29. I'm just coming out the other side of postnatal depression and wanted to have a little confidence boost, big mistake 😔

That is awful @Lumpsandbumps4
She clearly isn't qualified to do it.

Look at the images on this website. Dr Mountford has won awards every year for her work.

Look at the profiles of the practitioners

I think there will be an enormous difference between her and well qualified practitioners.

You don't need work on your jawline at 29.

Seriously, if you feel you need support, consider counselling not fillers.

I'm sorry for your experience.

29!

Why do you think you need work on your jawline?

You don't have any sagging or lines and you're 29.

What were you trying to achieve?

I am 40 years older than you and only just starting to think about something to lift my jowls.

Sadly I think it's common for twenty somethings to mess with their faces these days. The people who make money from this really are a bunch of vultures.
I hope you get this sorted OP. You have lovely skin, and I hope you find another way to get back to your normal self. I bet you're lovely. X

I wanted a more defined jaw line and to take the focus away from my double chin that i can't shift, I've certainly got that now 😫

Ah. Bless you @Lumpsandbumps4

I can offer no practical advice because I know nothing about this kind of thing. But I do k is lovely skin when I see it. Please celebrate the things you do like about yourself, and get on with living. We're a short time here, and shouldn't be worrying about jawlines
Hope you get sorted x

Aesthetics practitioner here. That is not normal I'm so sorry. I don't think it's true that people won't dissolve other peoples poor filling. I do fairly often. I was going to say that some people swell more than others so going by other peoples experience isn't always useful but after seeing your pictures. I think you need to get that sorted. X

Thank you for the feedback and confirming my gut feeling. It needs to come out.

Could somebody help me draft a polite but firm message to her explaining that I need it dissolved and why. I'm not very confident when it comes to things like this 🤦🏼‍♀️

Why, why would someone in her 20s be getting filler in her face? You've got your whole youth ahead of you. Take it from us in our 40s and beyond that there's no substitute for youth and you absolutely do NOT need to mess with your natural youthful face. I hope you can get this dissolved and get a refund and take this as the lesson it is!

My friend had the same “marble” reaction in her lips. Her HCP responded the next day that is was not normal and needed dissolving. So not be fobbed off for 2 weeks.

You've got your whole youth ahead of you
That's not how youth works. The OP didn't ask for opinions on what she chooses to do with her own face, if she wanted a procedure to boost her confidence then that's entirely her own decision.

OP I really hope you can get this rectified.

As an aside, don’t stress about how it looks. Yes, definitely lumps, but I wouldn’t look at you and think “botched filler” or anything. Looks like a couple of bad bug bites.

Also - strong recommendation for natural results:https://jbaesthetics.com/

Can people please stop commenting on OP’s age? She is absolutely entitled to do what she wants to her face, and no one but the OP has a right to determine what she wants/‘needs’.

if she wanted a procedure to boost her confidence then that's entirely her own decision.

No and 100 times no!

An ethical practitioner would not do work on someone who a) didn't need it and b) had other issues.

Where I have had some cheek fillers, at the Cosmetic Skin Clinic, you have to complete a lengthy questionnaire. This includes questions of a psychological nature, such as why do you want the procedures and what do you hope to achieve, and more.

They also don't do fillers ' to order' because you need a skilled practitioner to look at your face. You have a consultation where they discuss your whole face and what might be needed (if anything.) Then you can go away and think about it for weeks or months if you want to.

Most women who have fillers are advised to start with the cheeks as these are scaffold for the whole face. Jaw lines tend to be done on women 50+ as the whole face heads south!

OP I'm really sorry you have had this experience, but in all honesty you have lovely skin and should even think of fillers for another 30 years.

@BlinkerGoBlink Oh but they do have a right. An ethical practitioner will not work on someone who is depressed, or has body dysmorphia, or wants surgery or injectables for the wrong reasons.

I'm not saying the OP is any of these at all, but there is a code of ethics around work like this which is why the minimum age is 18 at least.

I've just sent her the following message.

Hi

I've had alot of feedback on it and it's just not right. I don't think the pictures I sent you do it justice you'd need to take a look in person. It's not just localised swelling which is expected it's a line of visible lumps, like solid marbles. I've had filler in my lips chin and nasal labial folds before and never had this happen. Mistakes happen and I'm not going to leave bad feedback or anything I just want to have it dissolved please.

Say to her:

After making some enquiries , I have discovered that this is not a case of waiting for it to settle down, but the procedure being carried out incorrectly. Lumps like this are not normal or acceptable.

It is not acceptable to ask me to wait for 2 weeks because in that time I am going to be embarrassed to be seen like this and also it may be harder to dissolve the filler.

I would like an appointment within the next 48 hours.

I am also considering leaving a negative review of your work as it's clearly done been done properly. [include if you want to.]

No sorry, I am just going to say it. If you have had that number of fillers by 29, you would be better served by therapy rather than doing procedures to get more confidence, because you never will.

Ahh I wish I'd seen this before I messaged her as this is much better than my own message 🤦🏼‍♀️

It's extremely common for people in their 20's these days. You don't have to agree with it, it is what it is.

Based on your update, and your previous fillers, you need help that is not using fillers.

Please consider getting to the bottom of your lack of confidence, through some counselling, and whether you are being pressurised by anyone else to have this work done (or to 'keep' a man.)

Unless you have had some injury to your face, you do not need chin, lip and labial nose-mouth work in your 20s.

@Lumpsandbumps4 It is not common and it's not right.

You have confessed it was because you were depressed after the birth of your baby. That's where you need to focus, not sticking filler in a young face.
Why don't you like your face?
