I just had ptosis surgery on my upper right eye lid, it's been 3 days since surgery and my eye is still droopywhen should I expect it to be fully correct? I posted a pic. Is this normal? Should my eye still be droopy directly after surgery? I just need some what of a insight or timeline on the recovery process.
