Can Fat Herniation After Restylane Look Different Every Day?

debhon
You had responded to a previous question indicating that the puffiness under my eyes cannot be due to Restylane injected a year ago. You stated it looked like fat herniation due to tissue damage. Is it characteristic of fat herniation to be present only sporadically? Some days, I wake up with no bags, other times with bags of varying severity. It fluctuates from day to day (see enclosed photo; pics taken the same week.) Because of this, I assumed it was water. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
