Upper Eyelid Lift Surgery?

This can be a very challenging problem. The best physician to tackle a revision procedure such as that your husband requires is an oculoplastic specialist.

Correction of Eyelid Ptosis??

Correction of Eyelid Ptosis or the Lazy Upper Eyelid can be difficult in some patients. Sometimes more than one procedure is required. It never hurts to get copy’s of all your operative reports and seek out a second option from another Occulo-Plastic Surgeon in your area. Hopefully, time will improve your husbands condition.
