Puffiness and Discoloration Under Eyes After Eyelid Surgery

Rosie 4
I had upper and lower eyelid surgery to make me look more awake and less tired, remove loose skin, and open up my eyes. After surgery, I thought I would be fine; I felt fine and upper eyes healed well. I did not have this puffiness and red discoloration under both eyes. Now, look and feel worse than before the procedure. The surgeon keep telling me nothing can be done other than wait patiently for it to go.What could this be, and how can I get rid of this? Will it go on its own? Thank you.
