I had congenital ptosis surgery in 2020 by an oculoplastic asorps surgeon in Houston. I had revisional surgery a year later. It has now been 1 year since the revision and my eyelid has multiple creases, bunched skin, and folds I never had before. My surgeon has said she can try and use a laser to tighten my skin. No skin removal so far. What would you do? I'm scared to trust my surgeon again but hate the swollen appearance of my eyelid. I can live with the height improvement I've achieved.
The ptosis in my right eye has become worse with age. My left eye is also hooded. Id feel SO much more confident if I had symmetry. I feel this is the 1st thing people notice & its impossible to hide. Is the symmetry in the after photo possible? Would ptosis sx lower my brow, high crease, & pull the retracted fat to the front to reduce hollowness? Would I also need a bleph on my left eye? Ive never had any procedures, filler, or used lash serums. I really hope surgery could correct this.
I had Ptosis surgery over 3 years ago. My eye shape is ruined half of my face looks different looks like Im squinting always and have multiple eyelid creases can my eyelid be repaired is there surgery to correct the shape of my eye? I want my almond shape back with out causing my eyes to shrink. What are my options? Note - my eyelid flaps over my eyelashes (inner corner)
Im about to be 9 months post op in 19 days & Im extremely unhappy with my results. As u can see in my before pic, my left eye *the eye that got operated on* was smaller than my right eye. But now, my left eye is the bigger eye AND my crease doesnt look right at all. I cant do my eyeliner the same anymore its so depressing. I feel like my surgeon over corrected my left eye. He said I have whats called hering related right upper eyelid ptosis but idk.. I cry daily about this
Congenital cataract in left eye - cataract removed at age 2 but no lens implanted. This left me with amblyopia, strabismus, and ptosis in the left eye. At 17 - strabismus surgery - successful. Then, 6 months later - ptosis surgery. Now, the asymmetry is even worse. The crease is too high and my eye looks permanently swollen. It's been 4 years. Unfortunately, the ophthalmologist who performed the procedure did not want to own up to her mistake, so she refused to correct it.. Please help
I would like a second opinion: I had ptosis surgery on both eyes 4 months ago. My eye is still droopy. I also now have a new crease (lower) that I did not have before this surgery. What is the likelihood that a second surgery will fix this droop in the eye and will it also remove this extra crease that I now have? Also, if I do a second surgery, should I do it with the original doctor or have a new doctor do the revision? Lastly, should I go with a levator enhancement/revision or a mullerctomy?
I had a car accident 3 years ago which resulted in some trauma in my forehead and eye area (scars also). In november 2018 i had a ptosis surgery with my surgeon that fixed me after the accident.I feel like it hasnt healed correctly and my eye now has excessive crease. Went to my surgeon and he said it needed time and maybe another surgery (really hesitant), went to another doctor and he said its not fixable. I wanna know your opinions and if there is a way to make my crease back normal?
Hi, I am 7 weeks post op. Incision is bright red and not folding over. I had ptosis corrected on both eyes (skin + fat taken out). When I open my eyes, the skin between eyebrow and incision does not fold over, making the red incision line visible + looks like I have no defined crease. Is this due to swelling, because of too much skin taken out or because not attaching to the muscle properly? The margin between lashes and incision is also high. Will this lash-incision margin decrease in width?
