What to look for in a surgeon for Ptosis Repair Revision? (Photo)

Hi, I recently had two failed ptosis repair surgeries from one of the supposedly top Oculoplastic Surgeons in my state. He used a method with an incision on internal eyelid. My eyes look extremely asymmetrical. Instead of going with this surgeon a third time I would like to explore other options. What should I look for in a new surgeon, and what should I ask/tell them about the previous surgery to maximize my odds for a successful Ptosis correction?

Thank you for your query. I would not advise any eyelid surgery along with LASIK. A good idea would be to get your ptosis surgery first and then wait till your eye closes completely at rest, as there may be a slight over correction of ptosis initially, which resolves in several weeks. Please...

The final surgical procedure provided you have all the pertinent information - is completely up to you. Improvement of the left eye alone - is prob preferable since you do not have issues with the right eye

If anything you only have mild ptosis, I don't think it would be considered medical. Your eyelid margin needs to be less than 2mm from the midpoint of your pupil to be considered medical.Having said that, you would probably benefit from ptosis correction if you were to have an upper blepharoplasty.
