How soon after upper eyelid surgery can I have ptosis repair?

Hello. I've got a little bit of aging-related ptosis in one eyelid which has become much more noticeable since my upper blepharoplasty. (I guess there's nothing there to hide it anymore, now that all the excess skin is gone.) I was wondering how long I should wait for my bleph to heal before looking into ptosis repair surgery. It's been about 4 months. Thank you.
