Is it possible under eye filler got into my upper eyelid causing ptosis/pink eye?

Asked By:EGC12 in Los Angeles, CA

I received belotero in the tear trough and I had a bump very high near the corners of my left eye. A few days later eye felt heavy. That lasted about a week 1/2 . eventually went away n now about a month later I have the same feeling but now accompanied by symptoms of pink eye? Could this be because of the filler? I constantly feel like I need to shut my left eye. Dr. says it's allergic conjuctivitis, I think filler went were it wasn't suppose to or damage was done to my eye during injection.
