My left eyelid is much higher than my right after having a mullerectomy. Would I benefit from another surgery? (Photo)

I had an muellerectomy one year ago. I discussed my concerns of my left eyelid lifting much higher than right with Upneeq and Phenlypherine drops. Surgeon did a 7.2 mm raise. Follow up, left eye was 3 mm and right was 5 mm. Surgeon said this is the highest it will lift now as there is no more swelling at 3 weeks post op. He told me my eyes are too dry for another surgery at 6 months post. I have been doing warm compresses and eye drops regularly though. What can I do?
