I am 5 weeks post op for left eyelid retraction surgery related to Graves’ disease. My surgeon snipped the muscle to drop the lid but my concern is the asymmetry between the eyes from perhaps dropping the lid too far. The eyelid still seems a bit swollen so my question is two-fold. Is there a method (ice, massage, etc) that will reduce the swelling? And once the tiny amount of swelling is gone, will my eyelid lift to match the right eye?
