How likely will a second ptosis surgery work if the first didn't and will the extra crease go away? (Photos)

Asked By:mruss1000 in Dallas, Texas

I would like a second opinion: I had ptosis surgery on both eyes 4 months ago. My eye is still droopy. I also now have a new crease (lower) that I did not have before this surgery. What is the likelihood that a second surgery will fix this droop in the eye and will it also remove this extra crease that I now have? Also, if I do a second surgery, should I do it with the original doctor or have a new doctor do the revision? Lastly, should I go with a levator enhancement/revision or a mullerctomy?
