My Eye is Higher After my Orbital Floor Blowout Surgery. Will It Settle Back into Alignment with my Other Eye?

Hutch2013
Exactly 2 weeks ago was my surgery to repair my orbital floor blowout fracture in my right eye. My eye immediately after surgery was pushed up very high due to swelling. It has come back down a lot but is still noticeably higher than my unaffected eye. I still do have some puffiness around my lower lid, so could my eye still be propped up from the swelling? I keep telling myself to be patient. My 3 week follow up with the surgeon is around the corner, but I thought i'd still ask here. Thanks
