How long does post operative ptosis last? (photos)

Kazarmstrong1965
I had upper lid blepharoplasty 10 days ago. I am pleased with the results, except that my left eyelid is slightly droopy, I believe this is post operative ptosis. How long can I expect it to be like this? I would say the left lid is 3-4mm lower than the other one. It wasn't present before the surgery. I don't see my surgeon for another 2 weeks, so would appreciate your views based on your vast experience.
