Hello doctors. I had hyalase injected upper cheek to disolve a filler placed slightly higher than needed last evening by a very trained , board certified Dermatologist. I woke up with a puffy eye. Vision is ok. Please refer to photos. My left eye feels heavy. Is this something that will resolve. ]Please help. I can't go back to my injector because he is out of the country for two months. I should've listened when he said he will inject when he returns.
