Will These Bags or Festoons Finally Leave or Will This Be the Results, 1 Week Post-Op Lower Eyelid Surgery?

desperate for results
i had lower lid bleoplasty a week ago for festoons on the lower orbital or malar cheek area. I am healing fine with some minor eye redness and brusing. i am 44 year old dark skin african american male. but i can still see the festoons that i had the surgery to get rid of. the surgeon said he took a good amout of skin and fat...is this normal or will they go away with time?
