Swelling Under Eyes After Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Janet todd
I don't understand why my lower eye area would be swollen after an upper bleph. It looks like pockets of fluid after an upper eye bleph. How long will the swelling last? I also had restyalne injected before upper bleph in the lower eye area. Is this the problem? It looks bad. Will the swelling to away at the lower eye area?
