Yesterday I had Restylane injections, in face, under the eye and in the forehead between my eyes (frown line). I woke up today with light flashes in the periphery of my right eye when I move my eye up and and down. Could these flashes be caused by the filler injections?

Answer: Eye flashes following filler injection Filler injections can cause a rare complication of skin loss and visual problems by blocking the flow of blood to that area.I recommend you immediately go to the Emergency Department of a University Hospital if available for evaluation and contact your injector so he or she may assist you in your care. Second options for this problem are immediate evaluation by a Retina Specialist to look in the back of your eye for any blockages. He or she will be able to make recommendations for care.Do not wait! I wish you good luck with this.
