I had the surgery last December on my left lid and if I'm honest don't see much difference in the ptosis, and I actually seem to have developed a new problem. I have a extra ridge under my eyebrow and in my eyelid. It's irritating and looks like a slight deformity now. The surgery was going to be on the muscle but the surgeon on the day said it would be better for me to have the eyelid stitched instead to get a better result. However it doesn't seem to have worked and I have another problem!
