Im looking to fix two areas of my eyes. First problem is my upper eyelids, they’re very heavy and lately have been getting in the way of my vision. Because my eyelids are droopy, I carry a lot of tension in my forehead and upper eyes. For the second area, my under eyes. I believe the hollowness of my under eyes plays a part in how droopy my face is. Especially since I have a lot of fat in my cheeks. So I was wondering, do I ptosis? And what do I need to fix my under eyes? Will filler work? Or should I go all the way and get an actual procedure? I’m wanting a more feminine look and I want my eyes to appear more open, with less tension. Please help me

If you are doing weight lifting only with no intense jumping or running, then at 2 weeks you can restart exercising, starting light and then building up as tolerated. With fat repositioning lower blepharoplasty, however, I do not allow any jumping or running exercises for at least 4 weeks.
Getting ptosis correction right during surgery can be tricky and having had a previous unilateral surgery is going to add complexity.
With each repeat procedure things become more complex.
The importance of providers selection cannot be overstated.
