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

Question

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?

Hi @lral9. This is most likely unrelated to the dermal fillers.  I recommend to follow up with your primary care doctor.   Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

It's unlikely this is due to your filler treatment. However, if it persists, I suggest following up with your Doctor. Hope this helps.

This is unlikely due to fillers. If it persists, I recommend following up with your Doctor. It may be due to allergies, infection, etc. Best, Dr. Emer

Dennis Gross, MD · Answer

It is highly unlikely that the filler is causing the crust in your eye. If the problem persists, I recommend visiting your doctor to discuss.

I recommend to follow up with your injector and also your regular doctor.  This is most likely unrelated to the Restylane injection, but it is best to be seen by your doctor.  Best of luck!
