I am from Minnesota, having a hard time deciding on a surgeon. I am willing to travel anywhere within the US. I understand this procedure has a high revision rate and I am just looking for the most experienced surgeons, I understand nothing is guarenteed but just trying to lower my chances of needing a revision. Thank you.

Answer: See oculoplastic specialist for eyelid ptosis surgery
Your eyes are in no way "hideous" -- I study eyelids for a living, and have performed thousands of eyelid operations. You have a mild eyelid asymmetry -- there is the slight possibility of "micro-ptosis" as one of the experts in our field calls it -- but it seems more likely...
Eyelid ptosis surgery can be tough, especially repeat ptosis surgery. However, there is a special procedure I use for revision eyelid ptosis surgery that has high success rate. See following link.
While the two conditions may occur together, they are not directly related and/or causative. Congenital ptosis is usually related to maldevelopment of the levator muscle.
