What kind of eyelid surgery?
Today is June 21st. You posted you question 2 days ago, which means that you posted the question 2 days after your surgery.

Is Swelling, Tightness, and Pins and Needles Feeling Normal After Eyelid Surgery?
I have performed Eyelid Surgery for over 25 years and IMHO, this sounds beyond the normal level of discomfort. Eyelid Surgery typically isn't very uncomfortable and certainly not at 17 days post-op. You may want to see the plastic and cosmetic surgeon that did the Eyelid Surgery for evaluation and further recommendations.
