I have severe swelling under my eyes from injection of Botox, is this normal? (Photos)

I have severe swelling under my eyes as if I was punched and have fluid build up. I know this isn't normal, and I have contacted the Dr, and she advised its normal, and to just ice the area. I do also have small bruising in both injection sites. Lastly, as the Botox was being injected, it was extremely painful, like burning. The injection itself was not painful, only when the medicine was injected. Like bee stings, only worse, then they dissipated in about 5 seconds.
