I had a mullerectomy done to correct the ptosis in my left eyelid 10 months ago. I am less than pleased with the result and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for next steps, as I would like to have another surgery done ASAP. I understand perfect symmetry is impossible to achieve...but this result is less than satisfactory and there is still noticeable drooping. I also want to mention that I use Upneeq, and have been using it since before my surgery. The result I get from using that is what I would like to see from a surgical procedure. I have included a picture of that as well for reference. Any feedback or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. Your mild ptosis could probably be corrected with with minimal surgery. You should be evaluated in person by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon who can guide you in choosing the best option. I hope this helps.
Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. The ptosis appears mild and might be too minimal for surgery. If this is the case, then specific eyedrops might be beneficial. Make an appointment for in person consultation with an experienced oculoplastic surgeon.
Good luck!
Based on the photos, you do have eyebrow ptosis which would benefit from a brow lift from an aesthetic point. Your photos are not ideal for evaluating eyelid ptosis, however, as you are looking down. You need to look directly into the camera lens if you are doing a selfie, not at the screen.
