Hello. 32 year old female, had restyllane in tear troughs about 10 months ago. Last couple of months I have had some swelling that lasts for a few of days. Sometimes one eye, sometimes both. Same time each month, once per month. If it is hormonal why does this happen and why now after so long? Anything I can do to prevent I? I don't want to dissolve as don't want tear troughs! I will need a top up soon, is there a filler that is less likely to have this issue? Fat transfer too much downtime.
