Upper eyelid swelling after ptosis surgery. Will the shape change after the swelling goes down? (Photo)

Jgirl2
4 weeks ago I had ptosis surgery on only my right eyelid. I wanted it to look like my left. I still have swelling on my eyelid, but my eye appears rounder and larger than the other. Will the shape change after swelling goes down to look symmetrical or will it stay the same?
