Under eye puffiness after CO2 laser. Any suggestions?

I am just over 2.5 months post procedure but I seem to have this puffiness & reddish color on my upper cheek (malar bag area) , one side only. I didn't have malar bags before procedure. I use Cerve cleanser, Cerve moisturizer and SPF 45-60. Is this normal swelling? Did the laser damage my malar area? Dr said it might be topical but I use the simplest cleanser and no longer use retin a or hydroquine . I also do everything possible to limit my sun exposure. Appreciate any advice. THX!
