Restylane under eyes made it worse, what do I do now? Doctor says he can either inject more or "melt" the Restylane (Photo)

As you can see from the pictures, the restylane just made my problem a lot worse. I don't think the doctor was very experienced. It appears as if the product was placed ABOVE tear through, making bags even bigger. There is still discolouration at injection sites (don't know if bruising or product itself, it's gray/blue-ish). He injected 1/2 syringe, can inject 1/2 more. Or "melt" it. What are the risks of "melting" it? I don't trust this doctor anymore. Can I have surgery after "melting" it?
