5 months post revision ptosis surgery. Is my continued swelling a result of having had 3 surgeries already? (photo)

Asked By:EYES29 in New York

Hello Doctors, I'm going on 5 months post op from my second ptosis revision and third ptosis surgery in total. I still wake up every morning with swelling, is it normal to have swelling this far after my revision? How long does it take for swelling to go down for a person who had multiple surgeries? I would like to know if the incision bump on my eyelid would go down. Also can a person develop extra skin or eyelid creases after a ptosis revision as seen on my photos.
