Chalazion is gone but my eye is still droopy! Why? Could this be permanent? For how long should I wait before seeing a doctor?

*Medical history*: Had ptosis and chalazion surgeries last year. *My current problem*: I had chalazion in my upper eyelid one week ago. I immediately used hot compress and steroid ointment. The swollen was big and painful for 4 days. Then it became smaller and not painful after. Now I don't feel anything on my eyelid when I touch it, yet it is still really droopy. Why is my eye droopy when the chalazion is gone? Could this be permanent? For how long should I wait before seeing a surgeon?
