Both Levator Advancement and Posterior Muellerectomy didn't work. What now? (Photo)

Asked By:rmckenna32 in New York, NY

I have had two surgeries on my ptosis of my left upper eyelid. In Feb 2017 I had a Levator advancement to try to correct surgery. It was deemed a failure and I sought new doctor and procedure. I ended with doctor I trust and know did a good surgery but still didn't work. The second surgery was June 1 2017 and it was a posterior Muellerectomy to try and correct the tarsus. Unfortunately this seems to have not worked either. Is levator resection my only hope? I can't accept this. It's so evident
