How long does chemosis last? I had a blepharoplasty on 12/20/17.

On 1/2/18, I developed chemosis in one & it persists, despite drops, ointment, massage...I am so sick of having a watery, swollen eye. Some days it looks like it is going away, then it comes back. My Dr told me several months ago 'it takes time' How much time??
