I have unilateral, congenital ptosis of the right lid. I had two surgeries on the levator muscle at 3 and 25. Each surgery was initially successful, but the lid dropped back down. I am 31, and my surgeon wishes to perform a frontalis suspension. I am undecided about the effectiveness of a third surgery. I am not optimistic about the results after having two "failed" surgeries and am worried about possible complications due to this being my third surgery. I can currently close my lid completely.
