I had mullers muscle resection on mild ptosis 11 days ago. The day after the op the height of the adjusted eye lid looked good and the swelling was minor. As the days have passed however the swelling has increased and more worryingly the eye lid has dropped and is now at the pre op stage. Is the swelling the likely cause or is it possible the stitches have slipped or loosened. Is significant swelling in week 2/3 common? My doc has said it can take 6weeks for the final height to be realised however after being so happy I'm now very disappointed. Has anybody else had similar experiences?? I'm hoping that as the last of the swelling subsides the lid will magically rise. Fingers crossed :)
