Is Ptosis after upper and lower blepharoplasty caused by mistake during surgery? Will it resolve on its own? (photo)

thomasda
I am 15 days post surgery and my right eye seems to have ptosis. The lid partially covers the iris and the difference is pronounced when looking up. When I look up or laterally, I feel a pulling sensation on the outer side above the right eye. Left eye is normal. I see little visible swelling now. Could it be the result of a mistake during surgery that damaged the levator? If so is there a way to correct it and how serious is it? Not scheduled to see PS for another 2 wks.
