Frontalis sling surgery - is it worth it? (Photo)

January 17, 2024
Asked By:17lin.p in Denver, CO

So, I've got congenital ptosis and 3 weeks ago had a surgery(Levator Resection). My eyelid is still in the same postion as it was before the surgery, though its still abit swollen. During the post-op the doctor said they went as high as possible, so no revision surgery. They the recommended a frontalis sling which is what I'm concerned about. They mentioned it may involve multiple surgeries and I wouldn't be able to blink for awhile? Is this surgery worth it?
