Why would voluma cause swelling and tenderness two weeks after the injection?

Gioconda
I had voluma injected in my eye troughs for under eye bags and it worked great. Two weeks after the injections both eyes areas became swollen and very tender to the touch.It has been 3 days now and I am still swollen, the filler is shifting. I keep seeing lumps in different places. It is still very tender. I am waking up every morning with a bad headache. Does anyone know why this is happening now and how to stop it? I asked my doctor and he has no idea. thank you!
