Is the skin overlapping my eyelid crease normal one month after upper eyelid surgery? (Photos)

Val10k1
I had upper eyelid surgery one month ago. I noticed this morning that the skin over my eyelid crease is overlapping over the eyelids. In person I look like Frankenstein. Are they swollen? Are my eyes just puffy looking? Is this going to correct itself over time or should I be worried? I liked the way my eyes were starting to look at 3 weeks post-op. I though my eyes were going to get better as time went by. Plus I look completely different. My entire facial features have changed. Will this also change?
