Failed Ptosis Surgery/any other options? (Photos)

May 12, 2017
Asked By:fantasy94 in Denver, CO

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 have been advised against that by doctors here Did the surgery made things worse? Is there any other surgery options out there for me? I hate my eyes anymore and it's becoming more difficult on my vision?
