13 days after upper eyelid surgery, incision is still open about a 1/4" section. Any suggestion? (photos)

The top of it is bulged out and is not adhered to the other side of the lid. Also a small opening at the outside end of incision. I am concerned that it is going to stay open leaving a pouch. The left eye is practically healed.
