2 weeks post facelift, upper/lower bleph & brow lift. My eyes now look like I'm half asleep & lifeless. Will it improve? (Photo)

Asked By:janet177 in London, GB

Specifically, I had a full face lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty and brow lift on 23rd July. Lots of bruising after the op, understandably but at the moment I look very strange. My upper eyelids seem to be half shut, like I'm falling asleep, and my eyes appear to have widened out, slightly chinese. I have some odema every morning which lasts through to midday, I am hopeful that will resolve itself but will my eyes start to look more normal, do you know how long that will take?
