I had upper eyelid surgery 12 days ago. Very concerned about marked asymmetry. (photos)

Asked By:Sandome in Boston, GA

I realize that it is fairly early in terms of recovery and that everyone heals differently, but in most of the pictures from other reviewers I've seen there is not such a large disparity as what I am seeing in myself. I am wondering if this asymmetry could simply be attributed to uneven swelling or if I am going to likely need a revision.
