Does Voluma cause orbital cellulitis or swelling so bad the eye closes?

April 18, 2016
Asked By:Myelomawarrior in Los Angeles, CA

Last Wed (5 days ago) I received Voluma injections. Yesterday I woke up with a swollen eye, today it's much worse. I called the PA who administered the Voluma, she advised me to come in. She subsequently sent me immediately to the ER stating it could possibly be orbital cellulitis. She stated its unrelated to the injections but I find that hard to believe. Does this happen with Voluma? I have had it before w/o any reactions.
