Post Eyelid Retraction Surgery - Exercises?

839449anon
I just had a levator recession for upper eyelid retraction in left eye. Its been 4 weeks, and I finally have symmetry after this being my second surgery. And also had steroid injection for scar tissue, as that was issue with first surgery. So doctor recommended that, and also had eye stitched shut until today. Approx 4 weeks. (1) Should I expect more retraction? How many MM usually after 4 weeks? (2) What exercises can I do to assist the eye healing with current symmetry?
