I had ptosis surgery 10 years ago and my eyelid was overcorrected. If I massage, is it possible I can lower the eyelid height?

Over 10 years ago I had a ptosis repair done for a droopy eyelid. On my initial surgery my eyelid was overcorrected causing severe dry eye that was very painful. I had an additional two surgeries, the dry eye was corrected but my eyelid is still peaked and looks very different from the other eye. Will massaging my eyelid multiple times a day at the area that is peaked help lower the eyelid ?
