Restylane tear trough filler puckering/causing dents in cheeks when smiling, will this eventually resolve? 2 days po. (photos)

lharte1707
Two days ago I had a syringe of Restylane injected into my tear troughs and perhaps I'm being paranoid but in addition to the bruising and swelling I was expecting with this procedure, I'm getting these odd dents in my cheeks under the spots that were filled when I smile. I think I'd feel better if I knew A) if it might eventually resolve itself as the swelling goes down and I just need to be patient or B) if it isn't going to resolve itself, if there was some kind of solution to implement.
