Why Have I Got Skin Puckering at the Sides of my Eyes After a Lower Blepharoplasty?

shalbourne
I am 3 weeks post op after a lower blepharoplasty and fat repositioning to correct lower eye bags and deep tear troughs. I had no bruising but a lot of swelling, that has gone. I still have chemosis in both eyes but what I am more concerned about is the pulling to the sides of my eyes leaving a dent and puckering to the skin.(see photo) Do you know what this is and if it will go away? I have to wear glasses to hide it. I am seeing my surgeon for a review soon. Please can you advise me.
