First you need to massage the eyelid upward a few times a day for a week or two and you need to wait for swelling to subside. If the problem does not correct it self  you should have an evaluation by some one experienced with lower eyelid problems following cosmetic blepharoplasty.  The cause of the problem needs to be determined- whether it is do to eyelid laxity or scarring. The surgical correction depends on the actual cause of the problem.

The first step is massage and patience. If it does not go back into position you should have an evaluation by some one experienced in fixing this not uncommon problem following lower lid cosmetic blepharoplasty. Depending on the reason for the malposition, and where the lid may be contracted can determine the type of repair that would be necessary. Sometimes just stitching it up is not enough.

The conjunctival  (back) surface of the eyelid heals quickly. The under surface of your eyelid should be examined

and if a piece of suture is present it could be removed and relieve the irritation.

A patch is usually placed on the eye to protect it until the defect can be repaired which is usually within about 24 hours.

If you have lower eyelid puffiness due to fat coming forward you would benefit cosmetically from a lower eyelid blepharoplasty. A picture would be helpful in evaluating you on this forum, and of course and examination.
