I Am a 37 Y/o White Female, I Had Lower Lid Blepharoplasty with Some Fat Removal, Lids are Now Droopy, is this Permanent?
I had no skin removal, the scar is just slightly under my lash line up into my smile creases. I am 6 days post op, my bruising and swelling has gone down a lot but, my lids appear droopy an very dry. Is it possible my lids will stay droopy and will my scars fade away?

Lids are droopy six days after surgery
