6 days ago I had a 1/2cc of belotero under my eyes injected under each eye to diminish dark circles. I did bruise significantly because I forgot to stop fish oil supplements. The day of procedure, I was bruised but the undereye was flush. Now I have a puffy/baggy appearance. My doctor is out of the office so I'm wondering if this type of swelling looks normal. There is even a visible ridge near my nose when smile. I obviously don't want to live like this forever, but I can wait out swelling
