5 weeks ago I had voluma filler injected into my tear troughs. About two weeks later a giant vein started protruding from under my right eye. I also have some blurryiness w my vision but that could be dry eye. I went back to the nurse who injected me and she said this is just my anatomy and is part of me so it won’t go away.
