What can be done to fix my droopy left eye 4 days post upper eyelid surgery? (Photo)

Farnia123
Hi, I am 4 days post upper eyelid ptosis surgery on my left eye. The swelling and bruising is gradually reducing but I can see my left eye is still droopy. Is this normal? and is this mainly due to swelling? Will my eyes "open up" and be symmetrical to the other side once the swelling has gone?...I'm worried. Appreciate your thoughts
