Restylane Injected into Vein/nerve?

anon2868
I had restylane injections in my cheek and tear trough region yesterday. It is now 36hrs later and i have a strange tingling/numb feeling under one eye - and if I very gently touch my upper cheek region I feel an uncomfortable 'twinge' in my eye (like a twitch?). I mentioned this strange feeling at the time of the injection - when my Dr injected my mid cheek region, I could feel it in my lower eye area. Could filler have accidentally been injected into angular vein/infraorbital artery? Nerve?
