Second pediatric ptosis surgery?

October 31, 2022
Asked By:gigigirl14 in Nashville, Tennessee

My daughter had ptosis surgery at 5. Now 9 and her eyes are definitely far from symmetrical. It bothers her quite a bit and she is teased. Do I need to seek a pediatric plastic surgeon, pediatric ophthalmologist or just a general plastic surgeon? The first surgery was done by a oculoplastic surgeon who performed “some” pediatric surgeries. He definitely did not take enough and I’m really hoping this will be a safe and effective surgery for my daughter.
