Could bacterial pink eye be from fillers? (photos)

February 15, 2019
Asked By:li_ca in Sonora, CA

I have tear trough fillers (Juvederm/Restylane) and I recently came down with bacterial conjunctivitis. I’m using eye drops and the dr also prescribed me keflex. The lower lid and tear trough area is very swollen on one eye. Could this be biofilm from the pink eye or is that not possible. Thanks in advance for your answers
