Please provide more information and pictures

Without the pictures it is hard to give good answer,but it will take few months before you see the final result. Please send pictures if the swelling does not get better.

Eyelid Swelling Will Go Down

Your eyelid swelling and brows will return to normal.  It can take a few months before everything returns to where it should be, so just be patient.  If you are having problems still after three months, then I would address it with your surgeon.  I hope this helps.
