I have large swollen blood bags under my eyes 48 hours after an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Is it normal? (photo)

Asked By:eyebaine in Belgium, BE

The swelling came up quite suddenly around 24 hours after the procedure and haven't seemed to get any better in the 24 hours since. I've looked a lot of picture of recovery and I can't see anyone with a similar thing. What do you think? Normal, or should I worry?
