I had bilateral ptosis surgery 21 days ago and I'm not very happy with the cosmetic result, though I can see 100% better. I did not wake up during surgery so they worked around that; the sedative may have been too strong. Asking about: Right eye: Overcorrection/peaking; multiple crease lines and prominent scar. Left eye: Height too low, feeling heavy and dry, seeing skin on periphery shapes and contours of both eyes I'd like to know if revision/corrective surgery is going to be required.

Answer: Ptosis Revision Thank you for your inquiry! The eyelid swelling can improve over the first few months following ptosis surgery. Along with that, the height and contour of the upper eyelid may change as the swelling resolves. I would recommend continuing to follow-up with your eyelid surgeon throughout the healing process and he/she can intervene if needed when the timing is right.

Answer: Cosmetic vs Functional results The swelling, which is normal, will probably clear along with it's associated excess skin and creases.The contour asymmetry is a different issue. The top of the curve looks to be more nasal on one side ( or more temporal on the other).It may not affect the way you see, but you could bring up the issue with the original surgeon. He/She knows the details of where everything is and whether there were anatomical issues that influenced decision making. Most surgeons prefer to wait on revision. A few may prefer to act earlier.
