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

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?
