Right and Left Eye Differences After Upper Blepharoplasty-Eyelid Lift?

I am 7 weeks from my surgery date. My camera phone is broken so unfortunately, I don't have a picture. My right eye is much tighter feeling than my left eye and looks smaller and more oval. The left eye feels more normal and appears rounder and more loose. Is there a possibility that the right eye is slow to heal and may catch up with the other eye even though I am 7 weeks out from surgery? Also, to begin with, I had very bad bruising and swelling after the operation. Thank you!
