Posted under Restylane Silk q&a

I've been experiencing random swelling/puffiness months after having Restylane Silk injected under my eyes.

The 1st time I had filler under my eyes it was Restalyne & I did not have this issue. The 2nd time, they used Restalyne Silk & now I experience the random swelling. I go to a reputable doctor's office with experienced nurses who administer the filler. I do not believe this is an allergic reaction. Is it possible that rubbing my eyes could cause this? Only one eye will swell at a time - Not both eyes at the same time. There are no lumps, just puffiness.
