Failed ptosis fix from double eyelid surgery? Will I need a revision surgery? (photos)

Asked By:janiebuz in NYC

I had double eyelid surgery at the end of 2016; I believe one eye had ptosis. In the past years, one crease has obviously gotten weaker and sometimes turns into a third eyelid. It feels heavier when I look up and is delayed compared to the other. Will I need a revision surgery? Any advice is appreciated.
