I just had an "endoscopic brow lift" 8 days ago and my eyelids won't stay closed when I try to sleep. Is this normal?

Asked By:NeverAgainWillI in Florida, FL

The surgeon did not use the things on the skull. He pulled up the skin and I have 3 smaller incisions on my scalp. He also said he removed some of the muscle over the nose to reduce lines. I had eye-lid surgery years ago, so skin is not the issue. Bruises and swelling are going away fairly quickly now. Tightness of the forehead is still there. Will this get better soon?
