I Had Injection of Restylane in Tear Trough but Could It Have "Fallen" into Area Below Due to Gravity? (photo)

bbemiami
Upper-cheek area below lower eyelid and next to nose looks discolored, seems to have a slight vertical ridge and appears a bit swollen, and eye socket still looks somewhat hollow. I have tried to be gentle with the area. Is this normal bruising, or can the injected material somehow slip down due to gravity? I had it done 10 days ago by an oculoplastic surgeon.
