After many years thinking about this, I finally made a consult at Wills Eye hospital in Philadelphia. The surgery was done under local so that the Surgeon could have me open and close my eyes while she did her work. Ptosis surgery is more extensive than an upper Bleph. I am now 4 day post op and I am loving the change. There is some bruising, swelling and discomfort but worth every bit of it. I can see my real eyes emerging and its wonderful. My surgeon is an ocular/orbital surgeon and a real artist. will post pics after I have sutures out. Updated on 11 Nov 2017: Post op 9 days and morning of surgery Updated on 17 Nov 2017: I am updating my review of Wills Eye Hospital to include my surgeon. I had Ptosis repair Upper lids on November 1. She did an amazing job, she's brilliant and a true artist. My vision is so improved, this is not just an aesthetic correction, I had literally been losing my ability to see clearly. I had stitches removed this week and the scars are very fine and hidden even at this early post op reporting. I would highly recommend her for corrective surgery. Updated on 17 Nov 2017:

The procedures that this doctor performed on my upper and lower eye areas have changed the entire shape and look of my eyes. I never wanted this and have been searching for the last eight months for someone to correct the damage. There are scars galore and anyone who knows anything about cosmetic surgery can take one look at my eyes and know that I have had work done; bad work done. Throw in a couple of serious infections in one of my eyes which meant having to wear bandages to my office for weeks, and I had the perfect nightmare. I use to have almond shaped eyes. Now they are round with eyelids that are tucked way back into my eye socket. The under eye "hollowed out look" was something I wanted corrected. Now it is worse than ever and the overall effect makes my eyes look skeletal. This delayed review is partially due to the fact that I was going back and forth from her office for almost two years, trying to correct the look that I was left with. I hadn't any extra money at that point to start over. Had I know that all of the "corrections" would have left me with even more scarring, I never would have done so. This doctor is a nice woman with a wonderful staff. However, she is always moving way too fast and seems to not really listen to what you are saying. I have left her office crying with frustration on a few occasions. I'm sure she is a fabulous 'disease of the eye' surgeon, which is how she was trained. For cosmetic surgery procedures, I would ask you to look for another. Yes, she can usually get your upper eyes covered under insurance. However, I believe that I have spent that amount in days/weeks lost personally and professionally, parking garages, antibiotic copays, eye drop copays, pain medication, steri-strips, etc. The time lost just not being able to leave the house due to 1- the regular infections, and then 2- the bruising from the constant needles and corrections and, 3-how 'wide one of my eyes was stitched open', totally not matching the other AND giving it that look of perpetual surprise.? This time can never be given back to me. Not many before and after pictures in her office, either. Perhaps for a reason?... Good luck in your search.
