3 weeks post internal ptosis and upper lid blepharoplasty. Does the healing look right? (photos)

Asked By:stayc5677 in Austin, TX

I had ptosis and upper blepharoplasty 3 weeks ago and I am concerned I am still swollen, my lids feel “tight” and still numb almost like some pins pricking feelings. When I open my lids all the way it hurts. My eyes feel sore and tired. I am also concerned about the scaring. Is this normal?
