i know that Doctors tell us that we must wait to see final results. But quite honestly what generally are the odds that it will remain a problem. It seems from reading all of these reviews that the good results look good right away - no ptosis. So, please, what is your expert opinion on ptosis? If you have it to begin with and theres not change after 2 months, does it really often go away o only seldom?

Ptosis a few weeks after surgery

Either you had ptosis before surgery or you did not. If early post-op you did not have ptosis, it may jsut be swelling that should get better. Otherwise, you may need a ptosis repair procedure.
