Ive had 2 ptosis surgeries in my left eye for congenital ptosis. I had levator technique done both times. I now have what appears to be an over corrected eye and extra skin. Is it possible to get an upper bleph done to remove all this extra skin? Would it make things worse? I am scared after 2 ptosis surgeries being messed up. Do i require a revision for fix the ptosis? I find myself hiding my eye now because it makes me feel bad about my apearance.
