Uneven eyes one month after ptosis surgery - What can be done? (photo)

January 22, 2019
Asked By:lsbarnett in Maplewood

My eyes were mostly even prior to surgery but the right eye was slightly ptotic. Now my left eye seems like it has ptosis but worse, they are very obviously uneven. My surgeon keeps on saying there's hardly a difference but it's due to swelling. I think the right eye was done too high and doesn't match the left. I understand you can't reach complete symmetry but this is really bad. I am so upset. I really regret doing this as I liked my eyes before but was told I needed this for better vision.
