It is difficult to tell without a picture. The eyelids retain fair amount of swelling that will decrease over time. Dr. ES
I recommend seeing your surgeon right away as your eye not closing is a problem. By not closing properly, your eye can dry out leading to corneal abrasions or even blindness. You need to use artificial tears and keep your eyes moist in the meantime. "Dr.D"
