I have had two left eye ptosis operations both of which were failures. I need some assistance with the below. (Photo)

Why would my eyes look symmetrical on the operating table but not post op when the swelling has gone down? Is it better to have another surgeon take a look? What are your thoughts on not being able to close my eye? Surgeon #2 says I will need to lubricate during the day and put cream in at night for the rest of my life. Should I consider this? Would you get a third opinion?Are there any other techniques available that could assist?
