Thank you for sharing your case and photo. You look great for 1 week after ptosis repair. Most of the swelling and bruising will subside once your stitches are gone. Follow your surgeon's instructions and make sure to go to all of your follow-up visits. Good luck!
Your swelling and bruising looks appropriate for one week. It's very common to get swelling and eyelid drooping (ptosis) after having a surgical procedure. The postop swelling from the surgery creates extra weight on your eyelid and weighs it down to cause a droop. This should continue to improve each week and a lot of the swelling will resolve within the first month. However you may continue to see improvement in the lid height for up to 3-6 months after surgery. Continuing to follow up with you surgeon for repeat examinations while you're healing. Best of luck.
Thanks for sharing your photo -- but unfortunately without a before picture its impossible to judge your results. That being said, it can take about 6 weeks for swelling and bruising to improve and 6 months to a year before you'll really get a sense of the result. Follow your surgeon's guidelines and best of luck in your healing.

You can find an oculoplastic specialist (eye plastic surgeon) by visit asoprs.org.Also see following link on my website for details on eyelid ptosis surgery.
