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

Asked By:patsypalmer in Manchester, TN

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.
