Asked By:unhappy17 in Kansas City, Missouri

Born with congenital ptosis and jaw winking syndrome in my left eye. Nine years ago I had a ptosis repair. The surgery was not done well & left me with a large scar & still droopy. A year ago I went in to repair this the surgeon told me all I would need was ONLY a blepharoplasty to remove the scar. I am now even more asymmetrical than before. I’m worried nothing can be done because the amount of puffiness, scar tissue, & lack of skin left(I’m 22) but I’m desperate. I can’t live with this.
