Denied by doctors - can my ptosis really not be corrected? (Photo)

spongecake
I’ve seen two oculoplastic surgeons locally that state my ptosis is too mild so correcting it wouldn’t be worth the risk of causing asymmetry to the eyes. Is there really no surgeon willing to correct this? Obviously all surgery carries a risk and tw things are never perfectly symmetrical. I feel disappointed.
