Can eyelid swelling during pregnancy cause permanently stretched skin?

arf7817
I am 29 yo and one month post delivery. I had severe facial and eyelid swelling the last few months of my pregnancy due to pre eclampsia. My face has returned to normal except for between my eyes and bridge of my nose and just above my eyes. Is it possible my skin has permanently stretched and is the only treatment surgery?
