Eyelids Healed Uneven After Ptosis Surgery — Looking for Expert Advice on Revision.

I originally had ptosis surgery on both eyes. My right eye (the flatter, less lifted one in the photo) needed a second ptosis correction. After the second surgery, my eyelids healed asymmetrically — the left eyelid has a nice lifted curve, while the right one looks flat and lower. My eye doctor told me he does not want to operate again because of the risk of scar tissue and because my levator muscle isn’t responding well. My questions: 1. Is there any realistic surgical option left to improve the symmetry safely? 2. Would a specialist in complex revision ptosis cases be able to help? 3. Are there nonsurgical options for improving the appearance? I just want to understand what’s possible before giving up. I would appreciate any expert input on whether this can still be corrected or improved. Thank you.
