Is there a way to re-stimulate compensatory activity after a unilateral upper blepharoplasty and ptosis repair?

Asked By:Botched321123 in Dallas, Texas

I had an over-corrected unilateral upper bleph and ptosis repair. The dr. did not properly prepare me for the other changes I would see on my unoperated eye. That eye has drooped laterally and the lid is now a bit ptotic. For now, I can only afford a fat graft to the opreated eye to restore some volume loss. Is there anyway to restimulate compensatory stimulation on the opposite eye, perhaps even with a fat graft? Thanks

Answer: No photo. Presumably you are describing the effects of Herring's law ptosis on the opposite side.
