Could eye drops with steroid dissolve fat and filler around my eyes?

November 4, 2018
Asked By:rayoflight25 in Illinois, IL

I have Juvederm fillers in my cheeks. I scratched my cornea and an eye doctor prescribed eye drops with antibiotics and a .1 dexamethasone steroid. I’ve taken them as prescribed (3 drops 3 times a day for 6 days) and my skin underneath my eyes look sunken and my skin looks thin. Could the steroid have dissolved my skin and fat. Help! I look terrible!
