Could fillers cause eyelid droop or is it a possible a nerve was hit?

Question

I had fillers in my cheeks and my eyelid swelled up that same day, by the next day it was gone however I still have a slight droop. Is it possibly from the fillers or the doctor maybe hitting a nerve, its been 4 months and no improvement. What could be next step be?

It is rare for fillers to cause this, please speak to your physician if you are concerned.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is unlikely what you are describing is related to injection of fillers in cheeks. No, no nerve would have been injured. It would be more helpful if you posted before and after photos to see what your concerns are.
