How Much Will my Eyelid Surgery Swelling Go Down?

  The photos that you submit show swelling which does not appear out of the norm for 4 days postop.  As the selling subsides over the next few months, the lid creases will likely appear to move down closer to the eyelid margins.  Although I do not have a crystal ball, I think it is likely you will be happy with the final results once the swelling resolves.

The swelling that you are experiencing following your blepharoplasty is normal. I advise my patients that after surgery they will most likely experience some noticeable swelling that will subside within two to six weeks. Patients should know some minor swelling can remain for as long as six months, and their lid contours may continue to change. Final results may not be seen until the six month mark. There are several exercises that you can do to assist with healing as well. You may also want to massage the lids. I suggest discussing your concerns with your surgeon. Best of luck, Dr. Clevens

It's normal to be concerned because this is a new journey for you but the photo of your eyelids also look within the normal range for a day 4 eyelid surgery. It can look quite swollen and the crease can appear to be exaggerated at first but as the swelling goes and healing happens this will gradually settle down.
Need to continue with the usual postoperative care plan though-
1) Sleep with your head/upper body propped up with a few pillows although no need to sleep upright- sleeping flat will as you normally do makes swelling worse. Before your surgery when you woke up in the morning your eyelids were swollen but as the day went the swelling disappeared right? Water flows downwards and because you had surgery there's going to be swelling and keeping your head elevated will help.
2) Ice pack in the first 2-3 days as instructed by your surgeon.
3) Some surgeons advocate for some medications that may or may not help with swelling but there's no conclusive evidence on this.
I would absolutely not consider any revision this early and unless there was a good reason why such as an emergency no revision prior to 6-12 months.
Wish you the best in your journey.
