I had 1 syringe of Restylane in my tear trough area to treat my hollows. The area occasionally swells up and bags form (Photo)

Asked By:NDsaccount in Los Angeles, CA

2.5 months ago I had 1 syringe of Restylane injected under my eyes. Since then, it has swollen up twice: once during my period, and now (not on period). The area looks bumpy, baggy, red, it's a little itchy, and wrinkled. Before the filler I had no visible undereye wrinkles except when smiling, now I do. :( I had no change in my diet, I haven't eaten more salty food, haven't rubbed my eyes, and I have not had a bug bite me. What is causing this swelling and should I be concerned? Thanks.
