Is 3 weeks when I will see any results from ptosis surgery?

Asked By:Savanahhope in Baton Rouge, LA

I'm 2 weeks and 1 day PO upper bleph and ptosis repair of my right eye. I had a pretty bad swelling about 5 days PO which my surgeon says was extreme dry eye. I'm concerned maybe that swelling caused something to pull loose with the ptosis repair. I'm a worry wart, but have been through a lot and hate not knowing. I read 3 weeks should be able to tell a difference. My lid was actually even with my left lid a few days after the surgery and now it is back where it was before the surgery. Thanks!
