I'm Seeing no Improvement 1 Week Post Eye Ptosis Surgery, Is there Hope it Will Improve? (photo)

Hi, I've started noticing my ptosis at the age of 6. Actually my parents friends started noticing, we didnt. And now at the age of 32 I decided to fix it. The doctor has told me that it is congenital and he will tighten the tendon and also remove a bit of eye lid skin. I just had my eye lid ptosis surgery 1week ago. The swelling and bruising went down and tomorrow I am removing my stiches.I am not seeing even slight improvement and am quite upset about it. Should i hope for any improvement

A: Still too early

Any eyelid swelling tends to push the eyelid down, so the eyelid still can come up over the next few weeks as the healing progresses, but you may need a revision if it is too low after 6 months or so. Oculoplastic surgeons generally have the most experience with repairing ptosis, but unfortunately ptosis repair sometimes does not work as expected and needs to be repeated.

How Will My Upper Eyelid Scar Heal After Surgery? (photo)

I've had an upper eyelid surgery done 6 weeks ago. My scar is healing great however there is one question that I have. When the scar flattens will it just settle into the crease and not lay more on top of the eyelid? I like how my eyelid is looking right now. Also, on my right eye at the end of the scar line it looks slightly dogeared. My surgeon said she'll fix it at the 6mos mark if it hasn't flattened...how is that usually corrected?

A: looks like a nice result

You do need more time for the scars to mature. I think you will have an excellent result. Wait for the six months and I suspect everything will look fine.

I Had Repair for Ptosis 2 Weeks Ago and Now This Skin on Upper Eyelids is Wrinkled and Crepey. Will This Go Away?

I Had Repair for Ptosis 2 Weeks Ago and Now This Skin on Upper Eyelids is Wrinkled and Crepey. Will This Go Away?

A: Wait at least a month

Two weeks is too early to judge a ptosis repair result. I agree with Dr. Steinsapir. Post a photo a month after surgery.
