What can I have done for my failed ptosis repair? (Photo)

CandidlyAnonOct 6, 2015
Hi, I'm 17 and live in the US. I had a ptosis repair in December of 2014 on my right eye. I had one in August 2015 on my left eye. My original surgeon retired before I came back for my second surgery. At the time of my first procedure, he didn't recognize my left eye as droopy; only my right. I am now noticing how terrible my first surgeon did. My left eye I think looks great, my right... Looks botched. When I raise my eyebrows, my right eyebrow is distorted, pulling to the right. What can I do?

It does seem you have some degree of ptosis on the right eyelid.  However, a careful exam is needed to confirm this and to determine the type of surgery that is needed.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
