2 Weeks Post Op from Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty, I Cannot Open my Eyes Completely. Is This Normal?

Kathy2468
My eyes will open half-way, but not more. The area along the incision is still red and a little swollen, but I heard that 90% of swelling should be gone by now. does this mean I won't be able to open my eyes completely again? Any helpful advice would be appreciated, thank you!
