My eyebrows (especially lateral parts) have dropped after blepharoplasty, ptosis repair. Will this improve?

Asked By:cococat8 in San Francisco, CA

I underwent a upper eye lid lift and ptosis repair a week ago.Stitches were removed today exceprt for the lateral parts of eyelids.My eyebrows went down somewhat ( I was elevating them to compensate for ptosis), but now lateral parts of eyebrows are down more then they were in correlation to the eyebrows before the surgery. My surgeon said that that lateral part of my eye lid will open more after sutures are removed. I wonder if the lateral part of the eyebrows will go little up as well.
