Chipmunk Cheeks After Restylane in Tear Trough?

AnneVegas
Three days ago I had Restylane injected in my tear troughs. He injected around the entire eye area. I bruised on one side and had swelling which is going down. I noticed right after that I had chipmunk cheeks! I look hideous. Are the chipmunk cheeks going to go away? I'm so scared I'll never look the same again. How could the under eye injections cause my cheeks to drop? Did my doctor mess up? I'm so scared, please help. My doctor just brushed me off when I called
