3 months after cheek fillers by cannula I woke up with severely swollen eyes which are hard to the touch.

The most swollen side was very painful when the cannula was inserted. Could damage have been caused? on Prednisone for 10 days now and also antihistamines/antibiotics.soon as I stop Prednisone for 1 day the swelling returns to my cheek and underneath both eyes and even my lips. My GP has organised blood tests but I can’t help but think it might be related to the filler. What could it be and how should it be treated. My face looks awful and I’m becoming increasingly worried.
