How long does it take to get my eyes to look normal again (no droopy or swollen eyes) after detached retina surgery?

Depends: There are several ways to fix a retinal detachment; a scleral buckle takes the longest to recover as it causes the most trauma from the surgery. I wonder, however, if you've had several detachments and you are noticing the effects of phthisis bulbi (eye slowly dying and causes drooping).

Depends. : It depends on how extensive your surgery was. If a buckle and vitrectomy were done, it can talk a while. That means up to a few months for the eye to look normal again. It is common for the eyelid to be a little droopy after any type of eye surgery. This may or may not recover totally.
