Heavy Puffed Cheeks Two Weeks After Hyaluronidase

4 WEEKS AGO: Had Juvederm in upper cheeks (not eyes area). Didn't like the results. 2 WEEKS AGO: Doctor used Hyaluronidase to fix both cheeks. Injection on left side caused significant bleeding (right cheek went well). Immediately I felt the left side being heavier when I tried to move it and within 2 days there was a bruise under left eye. 1 WEEK AGO: Bruise is gone but till today left cheek still feels heavy and little swollen. Doctor said give it more time. What do you think? Infection?
