I got under eyes filler two days ago after the procedure being done the results was perfect, but after 10 hours my under eyes started to swollen and get red after around 16 hours it got worse and I noticed a very hard and large lumps !!! I'm so worried I got the procedure done in another city when I was traveling, I called them and they said you have to wait and it’s normal!! I got under eyes filler before and it wasn’t like this, is it allergy and how it needs to be corrected?

Answer: Swelling and redness after filler Sometimes swelling from injectables worsens for a day or two after the injection. Although it’s hard to say without seeing photos and feeling your tissue, this is most likely due to deep bruising. The skin around the eye is so thin that it can react dramatically. Luckily this will go away in 2 to 3 weeks. This can happen anytime you get filler, even if it didn’t happen to you before. There’s a small chance that this represents infection. It’s rare but possible after filler. If you develop a fever, or find that your upper eyelids are swollen as well, you may want to consider visiting another plastic surgeon locally or an urgent care to see if you need antibiotics.

Answer: Post injection swelling It sounds like you are experiencing swelling after the injection which is to be expected. Each time you get an injection, there is a risk of bruising and swelling even if it didn't happen to you last time you were injected. I would avoid salty foods, ice the area and elevate your head at night when you sleep (don't sleep face down). If there is still a bump after 2 weeks go see an expert injector and they can potentially dissolve the product with Vitrase if you still are not happy with the results. You could also ask the original injector if you can email a picture of the under eye area and have them look at it and give you advice.
