Ptosis overcorrection - will it be possible to lower/correct this? (Photo)

stineliu
I had an external ptosis repair and bleph done on my right eye a month ago and I am super anxious about the peaking lid. My oculoplastic surgeon said it was intentional and due to self dissolving sutures inside, that will gradually dissolve the next 2-3 months. I am still swelled but my main concern is the peak. I can’t find any information online that supports this. Will it even be possible to lower/correct this if the peak persists?
