Can there be damage to the lymphatic drainage system around the eyes from Restylane injections in the tear trough?

Asked By:armani231 in Chicago, IL

I went to have injections to my tea trough area with a new doctor, when he saw me he said he thought some of my puffiness was due to a lack of drainage. We decided to dissolve the previous injected material with Vitrase. After 4 weeks, still fluid retention after the restylene dissolve. He believe that previous injections damaged my lymph. drainage. He believe this is permanent damage and can only be corrected by a lower bleph. Has anyone heard of this before?
