Is it normal to have swelling in the cheeks and bruising 5 weeks post lower transconjunctival bleph? (photo)

HelpMacy
My left cheek is more swollen and I still have that chipmunk look. Also, bruising still red 5 week post op. Should I be concerned? My doctor told me to go back in 6 weeks for a visit and did not seem concerned, but I'm rather concerned at this point.
