I had a right mullerectomy 4 weeks ago. My surgeon was satisfied with results 1 week post op and thought the residual ptosis would improve in the next several weeks. Currently, at 4 weeks post op, I still have 1-2 mm of R ptosis. I resumed my normal workouts 5 days after surgery, which involves lifting weights, sometimes heavy weights. Has resuming my workouts too early hindered my healing or is this still part of normal recovery? My R eye feels full at times like there is persistent swelling.
