2 weeks post op ptosis surgery, still droopy as before. Is there still swelling? (Photo)

Question

Hi I had second ptosis surgery 2 weeks ago in my left eye. As I wasn't able to go to the check up to remove stitches I let someone else remove them. My doc can't receive my again before 3rd January. At this moment I’m concerned as I don’t see any difference to before and when stitches were in. It's still as low. See pics which stitches and closed without. Is there still swelling? Is it due to the scare that is still visible ?

You have a slight difference between the 2 eyelid heights.  And you still have some swelling in the left upper lid.  As the swelling goes down the lid should lift a little and you will be pretty even.

Hello there. You do not have any evidence of eye lid ptosis!!!!There is asymmetry between the upper eyelids but that is probably a result of the previous surgery . That is not ptosis.
