Does it make sense that my upper eyelid is still swollen 2.5 weeks after surgery?

I am a 53 year old woman who got bcc on a spot in the corner of my forehead. When the bcc was removed it was about a half dollar size, and I was told "not too deep". The doc cut me up vertically from the outer top of my eyebrow and over and then down the side of my face through the edge of my sideburn area to my ear. I had a very closed and bright purple black eye. Is it normal that 2 1/2 weeks later my upper eyelid is still very puffy and distorted...with a tiny bit of purple left? Thanks.
