3 weeks post op of Blepharoplasty, I have uneven eyes. Should I Be Worried?

I had upper blepharoplasty 3 weeks ago, partly to remove excess skin & partly to address some asymmetry of the lids. Doc assured me he could improve the asymmetry of my eyes, but it's actually a lot worse now. I know 3 weeks is still pretty early & things need time to settle, but I can't help worrying that this surgery may have done the exact opposite of what I wanted. (Wasn't expecting perfection, just some sort of improvement.) How long should I wait before seriously evaluating the symmetry?
