I had restylane injected in the under eye area and now wake up with crusty eyes. Is this caused by the fillers?

I had 2.5 syringes of restylane injected in my under eye area. A week after it settled, I started to wake up with crusty eyes. Some days are worse than others as the eyes will feel completely glued shut. This only occurs in the morning when I wake up. Is this caused by the fillers?
