2 mths after HA fillers in my cheeks, I'm very puffy/lumpy. I think this is water retention secondary to HA filler. Help.

I have tried every type of HA filler even Voluma. It's 2 months post Restalyn injections in my cheeks and every morning my tear trough area is significantly swollen. It dissipates throughout the day but still remains puffy in areas that were not injected (close to my nose, lower part of my cheek and tear thoughs). Is this water retention? What can I do to minimize this? What fillers do not attract water? Post injections my cheeks looked great for the first week and then this started happening.
