I had a blepharoplasty and I have an ectropion in left eye now. Is it likely to recover itself?

lindahq
I had an blepharoplasty 4 weeks ago. The doctor cut too much skin out of my left eyelid and the incision is right on the eyelash line. I now have an ectropion in my left eye. Will it recover after a few months? Is my eye disfigured? Can the ectropion be cured?
