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.
