Hi, What is the minimum time required to wait for a Ptosis surgery to upper lid, under local anaesthetic? I had a lower lid retraction surgery, with autologous graft. Do I need to wait a minimum period, even though upper lid was not touched in this surgery - to avoid comprising results? Or not - thanks
