We all want instant results, but the reality is that it may take up to 6 months for all the swelling to disappear. Things that you can do to decrease swelling, include watching your salt intake. It is not uncommon at this time in the recovery to look very different from the final result. Share your concerns with your surgeon, and keep your follow up visits.
It can take up to three months for all of the swelling both temporary and long term swelling and scar tissue to improve. At this time there is nothing else you can do except wait and address your concerns with your surgeon.
You still have a fair amount of swelling at 3 weeks which is completely normal. This swelling will often make the eyes look smaller and a little Asian at first. If you had a lower eyelid tightening this will be even more pronounced. As the swelling resolves they should look more normal.
Thank you for your pictures. It typically takes a total of six weeks for the swelling to result in your eyes look more like they did prior to surgery but obviously rejuvenating.
I think though, even when healed, you are going to be some what disappointed with the results of your recent surgery. You look like you have ptosis. My best recommendation is to heal for several months and then decide if you are satisfied with the results of surgery. At that point it is much easier to know what you will need.
