5 months post. Why is there a gap at the corner of outer eyelid and eyeball after lower blepharoplasty? Will it heal?

happymomof3boys
I had a lower bleph 5 months ago. After the procedure I had to go in and have it fixed 4 months later due to lower eye lid on one of the eyes dropping. After that was fixed it left a gap in the corner of my eye at outer corner of the eye lids and the eyeball. 2 weeks after the second procedure the Dr fixed it but I still see the gap. Will that heal?
