Fluid Retention Due to Blepharoplasty?

fluidretention
I recently had a lower Blepharoplasty done 8 weeks ago. Just the removal of fat tissue, nothing elese. I hardly had any bruises after the procedure but the lower lids have always been a little puffy. My surgeon, after examined them, said it was due to fluid retention and would get better over time. However, my eyes have been looking the same, 3 days post operation. If they haven't changed after 2 months, how would I expect them to ever change? Or, could my problem due to something else? My surgeon said he cannot tell the condition will be permanent or not and there is nothing I can do. Can I do something to improve my condition? Any response will be appreciated.
