Peak in the right upper lid after ptosis repair on both eyes. Left looks good, only day 10 but really worried, what should I do?

Asked By:askconcerned in San Francisco, CA

I had a double upper blepharoplasty and ptosis repair on both eyes done at the same time 10 days ago. I have a peak in the middle of right eye. My eyes look so uneven, and very worried! I talked to the surgeon and he wants to wait for 1 month to give the swelling more time to settle, he does not recommend revision for 3 months. I know it's only day 10 but why does one eye heals so much faster and the other does not? I have to wear tinted glasses all the time now to disguise my appearance!
