Updated Question: I had ptosis surgery 5 weeks ago now. I had the levator muscle tightened by a specialized oculoplastic surgeon. He tightened my muscles as far as he could so there is no way to do a revision later on. When I go back after 3 months post op he suggested a sling.

I hate my eyes anymore and it's becoming more difficult on my vision?
