A photo is necessary. Droopy eyelid surgery is loosely applied to either mean ptosis surgery (muscle tightening to lift the eyelid) or upper blepharoplasty (skin removal), or both. It is possible you had one and not the other. It is also possible that brow droopiness can give an illusion of droopy eyelid. Ptosis, itself, can also worsen with time. In summary, there could be a variety of factors and it is impossible to tell without a photo or examination. See an oculoplastic surgeon.
Eyelid ptosis surgery is usually performed by suturing the aponeurosis of the levator muscle to the tarsal plate. Sometimes a patient's tissue is so relaxed and so poor that recurrence can occur. This is more likely to happen if someone has dry eyes and is constantly blinking a lot to force the eyes to close, and this forces breakdown of the repair. All of these aspects of the problem have to be evaluated before repeat ptosis surgery is done. It is important that your surgeon be board-certified and have experience with this type of eyelid surgery.
Without and exam or seeing pictures it’s hard to tell what happened. A few things might have happened you surgeon wasn’t aggressive, everyone ages different.

Every one continues to age with time. Although we can "turn back the clock", we can never stop it, so it is possible with many birthdays, your bags may slowly reform, but this is something that will take years to happen. Don't stress about it and enjoy your satisfactory results.
I remove eyelid sutures as early as 3 days, and certainly no more than 7-8 days. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to get them removed, and increased risk of visible scar, though this risk is low in upper eyelid because it is well hidden. Be assertive with the office staff...
During the healing process, the eyelid skin can often trap dead skin cells and other debris underneath the skin surface. When that happens, little white pearls of material are seen - these are milia. Since the skin surface is closed over the collection of material (forming a "roof"), it must...
I assume you are talking about the hollowness in your upper eyelid area. I would need more information to accurately answer your question. Did you have surgery in the past around your eye and what specifically concerns you? For the hollowness above your eyes, I would...
