I am two weeks post my second congenital ptosis surgery. Surgeon used whitnalls ligament suspension. It was slightly overcorrected post surgery(has gotten a bit better, can more fully close eye now) I followed up with my doc and he implemented massage to try for a while and he doesn’t want to do anything else about it yet.
