Three weeks ago I had ptosis surgery (levator resection, no skin removal) on my right eye. There doesn't seem to be any swelling anymore, but I've noticed that a few hours after I get up, a layer of skin forms right above my eyelid, which looks like an extra fold. It looks like there's a little hollow with a fold underneath. What could have caused this and is the crease likely to improve with time?
