Strange feeling in eye after under eye fillers. Is this a normal side effect?

February 7, 2017
Asked By:pb2017 in Toronto, KS

I had tear trough fillers 1 week ago under both eyes. My right eye is fine. My left eye however, soon as she did the injection I felt a pinch and almost a numbness under my eye. This feeling has not gone away. It feels like there is something in my eye, and my under eye feels heavy. I can also feel the filler when I move my eye toward the inner corner. My vision is fine and unchanged, but the feeling is very strange and uncomfortable. Is this a normal side effect? Can this lead to vision loss?
