After Ptosis Surgery Consultation

May 20, 2011
Asked By:susy235

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
