Extremely puffy eye and dissolving hasn't worked. What can I do? (Photo)

Hi, I have had my under eyes dissolved 4 times after tear trough filler that went wrong straight away. Dissolving hasn’t worked. I’ve also had lymphatic drainage 3 times, radio frequency twice and skin pen to try and rebuild collagen. I didn’t have puffy eyes before or troughs, just fine lines I wanted smoothing out. I’m at a loss on what to do. 0.5 teosyal in each eye used.

In my opinion, it would be fine to have your Covid booster shot the day after having some filler dissolved with Vitrase. There should not be any interaction between the two procedures.
