Incisional double eyelid surgery + ptosis correction + fat grafting to the upper eyelids

<Today, 23 days after surgery><This is before surgery><Swollen eyes before surgery><Day of surgery><Eyes with lenses and makeup before surgery><Eyes with lenses and makeup before surgery>This is a revision surgery after a partial-incision double eyelid surgery 20 years ago. I had multiple eyelid folds, and my eye hollows had become deeper, so on 12/9 I had incisional double eyelid surgery + fat grafting + ptosis correction. I was diagnosed with glaucoma in only my right eye in June, and I’ve been using eye drops. The side effects of those drops are that the eye hollow gets deeper, the eyelashes become darker and longer, and dark circles also get worse. Maybe because of that, originally only the multiple folds on my left eye were severe, but after I started using the eye drops in my right eye, I began getting multiple folds because of the eye hollow, so I ended up getting double eyelid surgery. (My left eye has had severe multiple folds for almost 10 years.) But even after surgery, I don’t know if it’s because I’m still only putting the drops in my right eye, or because they did stronger ptosis correction on the left eye where the multiple folds had been there for a long time... only my left eye is very swollen.. It’s been like that from the beginning, and even now at 23 days, I keep wondering when on earth the swelling in my left eye will go down.. I know it hasn’t been that long yet... but I’m scared it’ll settle like this as sausage eyelids and uneven eyes. Isn’t the line too high? I want to go back to my pre-surgery eyes, but my husband says it looks better now ㅠ I don’t really like my eye lines now and I feel like the swelling is really bad, so I really don’t want to go outsideㅠ
