Elf…I would guess everyone is different, but I would give it some time for the internal swelling to go down! Hang in there… I’ve had multiple eye suregeries…decompressions/eyelid and most recently the one where they sew up the outer corner…..before surgeries small children would say "MOmmy…look at the monster!" Now, people stare and stare, knowing something is just a little different and say "you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen" GOOD LUCK!
