First thing, get a second opinion from a board certified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon

Joel Schlessinger, MD answers: What should I do to resolve hyaluronidase side effects?

What should I do to resolve the puffiness and swelling in the lower eyelids? Will it resolve over time? If so, how long should I expect to wait? Or has the hyaluronidase done irreversible damage to the tissue of my lower eyelids and the edema is therefore permanent? There is not much information about hyaluronidase on the internet. I look ghastly. Please help.

It sounds like you have really been through the ringer here and it doesn't sound like you have gotten better, despite multiple procedures.

I'd get a second opinion from someone who is trusted in your area.  Skip the medispas out there and go to a board certified dermatologist who does these sorts of procedures or a very fine cosmetic surgeon (plastic surgeon, oculoplastic, etc).  Don't let other folks do more stuff on you until you get this second opinion as it seems like you have already had too much done.  Good luck!
