Uncertain: I see the procedure was reversed so I guess there was something wrong. It could be the nerve was injured or compressed Neurontin (gabapentin) may help its healing. It should heal in time but I would speak to a neurologist and explain everything that occurred including what the filler is and where it is deposited.
