Chronic edema around eye after HA fillers?

Mike_M
I had .5cc under each eye of Resty., maintained for 3 years. 1 or 2 sessions a year. Primarily mid to lateral cheek area, not tear-trough. Placed right along the top of, and on the rim, giving higher cheeks. Under 1 eye, I had minor persistent swelling. Also had upper eyelids done on 3rd year. On same eye I got an eyelid infection. After it resolved, the swelling was much worse, chronically. It is like a festoon, & eyelid bag, but is all fluid, no fat. Despite years since last treatment. Help?
