Do I have ptosis overcorrection in my right eye? My dr says it's normal. I feel constant pull and strain to blink.

I had double eyelids, but left was hooded, so I had eyelid & ptosis surgery 2.5 weeks ago. Day 1, felt pull in outer corner of RIGHT eye & noticed peak at corner. Now, crease barely visible when eyes r open. Prior, I had big visible crease. I didn’t want surgery on R eye, but Dr said I had to do both eyes. After, R eye crease is smaller. I look like I'm in shock. I feel he overcorrected. Dr says it's due to Herring’s Law. Crease will be visible & pull go away once swelling goes down on L eye.
