Is It Normal That One of my Eyes Doesn't Shut Completely 1 Week After Rhinoplasty?

Asked By:SM90 in Montreal, QC

I had rhinoplasty 1 week ago and when I close my eyes or blink the corner of my left eye stays open a little bit. By looking at it you can't tell but I feel a resistance when i try to close it and my contact lense feels dry. Is this due to swelling? If so how much time will it take to go away?
