Hi, I am 7 weeks post op. Incision is bright red and not folding over. I had ptosis corrected on both eyes (skin + fat taken out). When I open my eyes, the skin between eyebrow and incision does not fold over, making the red incision line visible + looks like I have no defined crease. Is this due to swelling, because of too much skin taken out or because not attaching to the muscle properly? The margin between lashes and incision is also high. Will this lash-incision margin decrease in width?
