Asked By:Cherriehuns

Hi, I had double eyelids surgery 2 weeks ago. The swelling definitely went down since post op day 1 till today, 2 weeks mark. However my eyelids are still swollen and the crease are still very high and unnatural looking. My eyelids feels puffy and soft when i gently massage it. Will this be permanent? I'm panicking and depressed. I never stepped out of my house without shades. Are everything fine with my eyes?
