I accidentally rubbed my eyes, will the swelling go down? (photos)

asher28
I received a double eyelid surgery around June 19th in South Korea. I have had my stitches removed and returned back to the US because I was only in Korea for a visit. Last night, I accidentally rubbed at my left eye and didn't realize it until I woke up and felt my hand rubbing at it. It was after a few more minutes of resting that I realized my left eye got really swollen and it looks really different from my right eye. Will the swelling go down?
