Had Laser Done 5 Days Ago, is Yellow Bruising and Slight Swelling Normal?

Kim in MN
The doctor had to numb my face just below my eyes to do the procedure because of my tolerance to pain. The left side has gotten the bruise over the last two days and now swelling seems worse with discomfort/slight pain. It is Saturday, should I go to the doctor Monday or emergency room tommorrow? The right side is fine. Please advise.
