Can topical sodium hyaluronate cause water retention and eye puffiness/problems?

February 22, 2018
Asked By:FBChicago in Arlington Heights, IL

I was born with tired looking eyes. I've gotten filler (tried Restylane, belotero) and it seems they worsen the appearance of my tired eyes because I retain water and am constantly puffy. So since hyaluronic acid dermal fillers cause a lot of water retention, Can using topical creams that have sodium hyaluronate also add to this problem? I'm letting my filler ride out (don't want Vitrase) but I'm wondering if I should stop my moisturizers that have sodium hyaluronate
