Will eye exercises or an eye patch help ptosis? Will Botox or surgery help with asymmetry?

January 19, 2017
Asked By:healer7 in East Amherst, NY

I have mild ptosis 2mm on one eye which got worse when I had rhinoplasty a few months ago. Prior to surgery it was 1mm. Will eye exercises or wearing an eye patch help the muscle? I want Botox but I'm scared it may make my eye worse? Do I need surgery to fix the eyes or what can be done to balance out my eyes better. If I have surgery is there a risk my eyes will be uneven? I'm having revision on my nose and worried the eye will get worse
