Is it possible to reverse or revise ptosis surgery back to its original state? (photos)

Asked By:kevinc34 in Boston, MA

2 years ago I had ptosis surgery performed on both eyelids. I had a prior surgeon inform me that my eyelids were symmetrical yet my left eyelid felt droopy at times. Now I notice my eyelids are flatter and eyes feel smaller than before which is an insecurity of mine. My eyes are also dry each morning even after using warm compress and eye drops/gel. So I’m not sure if it’s due to overcorrection or not because I can still close my eyelids. Can this be reversed back to its original form?
