Unilateral Eyelid Repair Making Other Eyelid Droop, What Can Be Done? (photo)

I had a unilateral eyelid repair (from the inside of the lid) 10 days ago, and now my other eye is drooping, similar to how the operative eye looked prior to the surgery. The operative eye looks very "big and awake" and now the other eye looks very "small and droopy". I had the now small and droopy eyelid unilaterally repaired 8 months ago as well and now it now looks worse than before either surgery. I don't understand why the nonoperative eye looks worse & both eyes are so uneven.

A: You had ptosis that was not treated

The drop of the non-treated eye is due to the ptosis. The best would have been to repair the ptosis in both eyes at the same time.

You have beautiful eyes and will not be happy with surgery. You may send better picture with closeup ,but I would recommend no surgery based on the submitted picture.

I Got a Blepharoplasty Three Weeks Ago and One of my Lower Eyelids is Drooping, How Long Do I have to Wait for Revision? (photo)

I got a blepharoplasty three weeks ago and one of my lower eyelids is drooping. I am 58 yrs old and in good health. I am putting ointment in my eye and taping it into place every night and massaging it several times per day. After the first week, the eyelid came up a bit but no progress has been made in the last two weeks. My surgeon says she can put a stitch in the corner of my eye to pull the lid up if it does not improve. Is this the best way to fix it? How long should i wait?

A: Lower lid

The picture show ectropin of the right eye and this is due to the excess skin removal from the lower lid. I would suggest earlier treatment than waiting. You may need to have skin graft from upper lid . Suture placement would have been helpful if the the problem was due to the swelling. You will to have examination in person. You need to continue eye drops to prevent dry cornea.
