I have gone through 4 times of ptosis and eyelid revision and still the results is very poor. The doctor said that ptosis involves lifting the eyelid with congenital cause sometimes it may be difficult to get it just right. I will undergo another revision this month, but concerned if too many revision will cmplicate and worsend the eyelid.
