Acquired ptosis after LASIK, is a ptosis repair what I should pursue? (Photos)

September 7, 2024
Asked By:Salicia23 in Irvine, California

Last year I had Lasik to correct my vision. When the doctor inserted the speculum into my left eye, there was a moment that I felt intense pressure that was almost painful that I had not felt when the same was done to my right eye. The doctor assured me it was nothing to worry about. Immediately following the procedure my left eyelid appeared puffy/droopy. There has been no improvement since. Is a ptosis repair what I should pursue? Or Blepharoplasty? Cost estimates would be also be appreciated
