Hi and thank you for your question and for your service! Swelling following filler injection is common, but it is not expected to last beyond 2 weeks and in your case, it appears a bit unusual. Do you have any other signs or symptoms such as redness or tenderness. If the condition persists or worsen, you need to be evaluated by a physician. If possible, try to get your treatment records from the doctor who did your injection so that the doctor who is doing the follow up has access to your treatment details. I hope it helps and good luck!
