Eye bags/bulge under eye after PRP injections due to poor injector technique. How can this be resolved? Pls. help.

Asked By:moimoi923 in California, CA

I got PRP injections under my eye two days back. After a few hours of being injected, I had bulge/eye bags under my eyes. The swelling did subside the next day but it’s been two days and one can clearly see bulges under my eyes at the injected area. The injector was young and inexperienced. The person who had previously been injecting me was out on leave, thus I was assigned this new person who was a physical assistant and not a licensed nurse. How can I get rid of these eye bags? Pls. advise
