I had restylane injections on 8/1 on the forehead for acne scar, and into my upper cheeks (1/2 syringe total was used). I went to see Dr. 8/13 as I thought things were uneven. I was told they were fine. On 8/14 I noticed bulging vein & felt pressure & tingling sensation around the right eye and cheek. I also feel like I have to clear a film off of my right. I can't sleep on my right side as the pressure/throbbing is uncomfortable. Should I go back to Dr. or seek neuro-opthamologist?
