Yesterday I had Bellafill fillers done around my temple and forehead area, 8 in total 4 on each side and today I am having extreme swelling and puffiness around my eyes. Is this normal? I am not allergic to Bellafill, been tested and waited 28 days before the procedure. Could not reach my doctor's office they are closed for the next 3 days. Thank you
