After Eye Lift and Brow Lift Eyes Do Not Close All the Way, Is This Permanent?

September 22, 2011
Asked By:mariainhollywood in hollywood

I had an eye lift on my upper and lower eyelids and a brow lift four weeks ago. I still have some sensitivity to bright lights but my main concern is my eyes still do not close all the way. How long does it take for my eyes to finally close completley? It is making me worried they will never close all the way.
