Just had lower blepharoplasty 5 days ago and developed chemosis in both eyes. Left more than right. What can I do to help heal?

My eyes are feel dry and irritated. I've been putting in drops of Thera Tears. I see my surgeon in three days but in the meantime is there anything I can do to alleviate the irritation. Also, I feel like I have "puppy dog eyes". They droop slightly at the ends. Will this disappear after my swelling has gone down?
