I had a filler injected in cheek area, Restylane. Can that cause eyelid swelling and under eye hardness 3-4 months later?

Asked By:Restalyne in Spokane, WA

It started with a gnat bite on my forehead and 48 hrs later I wake up with my eye almost swollen shut. This has happened 7-8 times in the last 3 months and never before. Yesterday I woke up and my left eye swollen and hard underneath, slightly red and blue-ish. Is it possible my body is reacting to the filler? Do you think the hyaluronidase would work for me in this situation? Obviously something is not right, I have gone on a round of antibiotics which have not helped. I just want the filler gone!
