Is my ptosis surgery not healing right? (Photo)

Asked By:judy2905 in Baltimore, MD

I had ptosis surgery 4 weeks ago and am very scared and unhappy with the results. My eye looks worse than it did before surgery. I also can't look up as the muscle feels 'stuck'. I also still have slight double vision. The doctor keeps giving me steroids to reduce inflammation. How long do you have to wait for a revision? I went to a very reputable surgeon who specializes in this.
