Three Months Post Upper Blepharoplasty I Still Experience Numbness. Will This Improve?

anon6536
My upper eyelid surgery turned out visually great! I have concern with numbness of the actual eyelid itself. It is mostly evident when applying mascara. Will the "numb" feeling improve or is it a permanent end result of the procedure?
