You are still early and things are too difficult to tell based on photos and not an exam.  Be patient for another month and take time to discuss your concerns with your PS.  You may need some finetuning but take time to discuss with your PS.

Your problem appears to be due to your eyebrow sagging, brow ptosis rather than your eyelid skin.  A trial of botox that give you an idea what a brow lift will do may be helpful to determine if you would be happy with a surgical brow lift.

You are very early out and things will change.  What and how much and whether you will be happy is to be detrmined with time.  Just be patient as you appear to have a great result and are heading in the right direction.
