I had ptosis surgery on both eyes. The right one was perfect after two weeks but the left one developed scarring and hematoma that needed to be removed. Now it's been an additional 4 weeks after that one and my eye lid looks terrible, filled with scar tissue. I was told to use warm packs and massage it so the scarring would go away that fills my eye lid but have seen no improvement. Can someone please reassure me and tell me what my next step may be. I will follow up but want a 2nd opinion.
