Do I need a revision because my eyes are extremely droopy as if nothing changed? (Photos)

Asked By:throwaway101 in Atlanta, GA

3 weeks after ptosis repair my eyes are extremely droopy just like before as if nothing changed. I had blepharoplasty on both eyes with ptosis repair done on the left eye 3 weeks ago. My left eye seems be in the same place with the same level of droopiness like before surgery. Seeing that the left eye is still hanging so low, I can't help to think the result won't be much different in another month or two. Also, the crease on my right eye is a lot shorter than the right. It seems like he could have made the incision longer toward the corner of my right eye. Do I need revision?
