I had microblading done on 6/9/18 and curious to know if I have a possible infection? (photos)

niknic456Jun 12, 2018
On 6/10/18 my eyelids were extremely swollen & on 6/12 I have swelling underneath my eyes. I was icing the area & that actually seemed to make my eyes more puffy so I stopped the cold compress. I tried Motrin & Benadryl with no luck. Please look at photos, is this signs of an infection or typical swelling. My eyes do not itch or hurt & it seems like the swelling is moving down my face.
