5 days post op Restylane- Swelling, Tyndall effect, what is this bubble lump post tear trough filler? (photos)

csper821
It has been exactly 5 days since I had tear trough filler injected (Restylane). It looked perfect when I left. A few hours later I noticed a little swelling in the one area below the left eye. The next two or three days my eyes were very swollen so I didn’t notice the bubble. The swelling is subsiding and now I’m left with a bubble/lump on one side. Should I wait it out? Massage? Return to injector? I’m freaking out...
