What can change after 1 month after blepharoplasty? How can my eyelids further improve? (photos)

nataliaaa1
I'm 9 days post upper eyelid surgery and I'm quite disappointed, first of all, there are two creases on my eye, the beginning of the new higher crease didn't adjust to the eye. There's almost no brusising or scarring and they don't feel swollen, although they do feel numb still, upper skin above the eyelid too. I was hoping I'd get a flat surface, but there's still excess fat or skin. I probably shouldn't judge yet, but how can my eyelids improve ? Is it possible they will?
