2 weeks post op, I can't close eyes fully after Asian eyelid surgery. Is this normal? (photo)

Asked By:lushaa

I got a full incisional double eyelid surgery two weeks ago and I cannot close my eyes all the way. At first I thought it may be due to swelling but even after swelling has gone down significantly, I still can't close my eyes. Is this normal? Will I eventually be able to close my eyes?
