3 weeks ago I had my dermatologist inject a small amount of Voluma in temple and about .1cc under each eye on my cheek bone. Immediately a soft lump appeared at the injection site under my right eye. A couple days later the entire under eye area swelled up, the bump was still there. Had two treatments of Vitrase ,the bump disappeared but swelling was still there. The swelling is the worst in the morning. Is this edema? And how soon will this go away?
