Lumps and Swelling After Blepharoplasty

beastyfeasty
I am a young woman who had upper and lower eyelid surgery almost 1 month ago. After 10 days, a lump formed in the bottom right corner of my right eye. My surgeon then gave me a steroid shot in the area, and within 2 days, it went down, but still slightly puffy. Now, the lower left eye has swollen drastically. 3 weeks after surgery, I am going in for another steroid shot. I did everything I was told to do and my lower lids were really not so bad to begin with. Is this normal?
