Can I be having an allergic reaction to tear trough implant? If implants are removed, will I be left with hollowness? (Photos)

One month ago I had tear trough implant surgery with fat removal to correct under eye bags. Several days ago, I developed considerable redness/ swelling/tingling under both eyes. My doctor said he has never heard of anyone having an allergic reaction to implants and put me on a steroid. He explained that implants may have to be removed. If removed, will there be enough scar tissue to leave me with the same result as if the implant was there or will I be left with hollowness?
