I seriously need help. I had a collagen thread with PRP done 2 days ago. Please advise me. Is this normal?

Hi and thank you for your question! Swelling is very common following these types of procedures and most of the issues you are experiencing can be related to swelling (which is often uneven). Unless you see other warning signs (redness, tenderness, heat, etc) or if the swelling gets worse, you should be patient and allow the healing to continue. All the swelling is expected to resolve within two weeks and at that time you will be able to evaluate the final results and in case of any concerns then, you should do a follow up with your physician for reevaluation and correction if needed. At this time, please do not worry about the aesthetic look of the results as it is two early. I hope it helps and good luck!
