How long does it take to fully recover from conjunctiva muller's muscle resection?

tmjwoods15
I am having ptosis surgery performed soon. I have less than 2mm that needs to be corrected an responded positively to a phenylephrine test, I was told this means that ill have a less invasive surgery and therefore quick recovery. I understand everyone is different. I'm a healthy (non smoker etc) 20 year old caucasian woman, when will I see the cosmetic effects of this surgery? When will my eyes look totally normal again?
