A lady had Restylane treatment for hollowness under her eyes. Both her eyes were swollen shut the next day, and with a lot of redness. She did not have any bruising after treatment. She started Prednisone, a corticosteroid used for inflammation, to treat her swelling, but without the supervision of a doctor. She now has swollen bags near her eyes which never had before.

New York Oculofacial plastic surgeon Amiya Prasad, MD reviews her concerns in this video, where he states that allergies to hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane are extremely rare, but other factors may have caused an allergic reaction, which is important to determine and treat under medical supervision:

1:40 - Dr. Prasad’s background training and experience with using hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane under the eyes to treat hollowness
2:03 - Why it is important to reach out the doctor who performed the procedure, and have professional medical guidance when using a drug like Prednisone
2:29 - How there is low likelihood of an allergy to Restylane or hyaluronic acid, which is so exceedingly rare that allergy skin tests are not used
2:56 - How collagen fillers in the past were derived from a bovine source, so allergy skin tests were needed
3:13 - How an allergic reaction that caused the swelling could be due to something else: topical anesthetic, moisturizer or make-up
3:34 - How Prednisone is effective to treat allergic reactions, but should only be used with medical supervision, so an allergist can be consulted for the cause of swelling
3:52 - How the lump is most likely excess filler in an undesirable location, so the recommendation is to dissolve it with hyaluronidase
4:18 - How excess filler application is a common concern, with Dr. Prasad’s patients coming from around the country to have the material dissolved with hyaluronidase, and then starting from scratch in applying filler again
4:53 - How finding the cause of swelling is important, as allergies should not be ignored
