Yes, it was still swollen before the stitches were taken out. It will be wider. It will be much better after stitches are removed. I went to "Director Li Xiaodong of Beijing Oriental Ruili Plastic Surgery Hospital" to have my double eyelids done, which was very good. There is no exaggerated swelling, swelling is natural. I am very satisfied. I think you'd better wait a few days and see what happens.
