Asked By:sergevm123 in New York, NY

Hi I had second ptosis surgery 2 weeks ago in my left eye. As I wasn't able to go to the check up to remove stitches I let someone else remove them. My doc can't receive my again before 3rd January. At this moment I’m concerned as I don’t see any difference to before and when stitches were in. It's still as low. See pics which stitches and closed without. Is there still swelling? Is it due to the scare that is still visible ?
