I was born with Ptosis, i'm finally doing something about it and can't wait, I have to wait 9 weeks until i can see a specialist, my optometerist didn't fill me with confidence when i asked him for the referral. What are the success rates of getting reasonably symmetrical eyes?

Long term results should be good for at least 10 years if properly performed. If the procedure was not performed well, that is when people will not be pleased. You do not want to over resect fat or skin. I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon who performs this procedure...
Hi. It looks like you have some mild lid retraction, rather than a true ectropion, which would be more severe.It should resolve over a couple of months, if you are diligent about lower lid massages and taping. Have your PS show you how to do this properly.
