Eyelids swollen shut after facelift. Have been using cold compresses. No help. What to do? (Photo)

I appears that you had a brow lift and/or eyelid surgery.  Use cold compresses and head elevation the first two days. After that time will cure all. 

Hello John Girdler,Depending on what all is done, there can be some impressive swelling with surgical procedures.  The more procedures that are done at once, the more you are going to swell.  If you had only a facelift it is certainly on the rare side to have enough swelling to make your eyes close.  Time and staying upright will help with the swelling.  You can also sometimes squeeze out some of the swelling but this should only be done at the direction of your surgeon.  I'd recommend you contact your surgeon to see if he or she has any recommendations at this time.I hope this helps and good luck.
