Eye Re-Surgery

Eye revision surgery, 1 week in.. medial epicanthoplasty restoration, upper canthoplasty, double-line correction, posterior/lower canthoplasty…

I had medial epicanthoplasty restoration, double-line correction for my eyes, and even posterior/lower canthoplasty. It’s about day 8 now, and the stitches haven’t been removed yet, but... I developed lagophthalmos that I didn’t have before, so I’m really worried.. Has anyone developed lagophthalmos and then gotten better? And the stitch lines look way too uneven, so I asked the clinic, but it was just the routine answer.. they said it would even out with time. But I’m so stressed because my eye won’t close.. And like in the photo, more of the area above my right pupil is visible.. On the left, only about half of the pupil shows, whereas on the right, when I open my eyes, the upper part lifts more, so more of the pupil is visible Since it’s only been about a week... are there really cases where it gets better with time? I had my first surgery when I was young, and it turned out uneven and failed. I was afraid touching it again would really ruin it, so I thought about it for ten years before getting revision surgery... The double eyelids are uneven too.. the upper parts are uneven when I open my eyes too.. Is it really right to just leave it and wait, like the clinic says, and it will even out over time? Should I ask them to fix it again now? Since I don’t know anything... I’m anxious and frustrated, and I finally worked up the courage to get revision surgery... Before surgery, my double eyelids were thick and uneven, so I had surgery to lower the line and correct the asymmetry... But everything looks uneven, and my eye won’t close, so I’m upset all day long
