In 2015 or 16 I had filler infected under my eyes. It looked great at first but I soon noticed a slight bag on just the right eye. Now years later it's still there and looks terrible. What can I do? Is this forever and if I did try filler again under my eyes, would this happen again and get worse?

At age 31, nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth) are completely normal, especially with expressive facial movements. However, if their appearance at rest is bothersome, several long-lasting treatment options can help soften them.
1. Dermal Fillers...
No, unless your filler is very overdone it should not make your face appear heavier. Filler treatments are temporary, lasting 12 months to 2 years depending on the filler selected. The amount of product you had injected is very conservative and would be unlikely to cause an overfilled look. ...
You should be fine to have your dental cleaning five days after your filler treatment for the nasolabial area. The risk of a related infection would be minimal. I've included a video about dermal fillers that I hope you find helpful.
