I'm 26 and since I was 10 years old I had a mild right eyelid ptosis.One week ago I went through surgery to correct it.Right now my concern is that there was an overcorrection, expecially evident on my lookdown.I know it's too early to tell,but how long will it takes to understand if it's only a temporary overcorrection or if it'll be permanent?I've read that massages or forced contraction of the eye can help.This should be done in the days immediately after the surgery by myself?How?I also can't fully close my eye

Answer: Overcorrected ptosis You do appear overcorrected- I agree with the other responses that you should let your surgeon know. Many see patients one week after surgery. It may be easier to correct this earlier rather than later. Often with undercorrection, waiting is recommended while we wait for swelling to decrease.

Answer: Ptosis correction It is definitely too early to jump, and there is definitely no emergency or any pressing reason to put anyon on notice. On your before photos your brow position is far lower than in your after. You are overcompensating for some of the initial muscle stun by elevating your brow. This is also why on down gaze your right lid doesn't come down as far. There may be an overcorrection but it is too early to tell and you have to let these dynamics play out.
