having pain that long out is not normal or expected. if you like the look, then you could consider leaving it. you could also consider dissolving it to see if that will help the situation. since i have never encountered it, i don't know how to expertly advise you. i can say that dissolving it is not without risk if you have no cosmetic problem because you can then leave a depression and you might consider doing that symmetrically so that both cheeks go down in size more evenly. still that is unpredictable. i have never used SubQ because it is not FDA approved in the U.S. i am so happy with perlane that i have no interest to use SubQ even if it is introduced.
