Silicone Injections in Temple Area Has Migrated to Eye-area: Bad Results! is There Help?

I had liquid silicone injected about 6 months ago in the temple area to fill in my hollow temples. Now right away it migrated towards my eyesand I have terrible results!: Puffy eyes, bags under my eyes (never had them before) and 1 eyelid drooping. What can be done about this? Is there anyway to help my eyes? I have the idea that the puffy eyes are because of the fluide-drainage not works well because it gets worse when I' ve cried. Is there a way to help this or at least improve my eyes?
