9 months post-op - can you advise on botched ptosis & blepharoplasty? (Photos)

Question

I’m about to be 9 months post op in 19 days & I’m extremely unhappy with my results. As u can see in my before pic, my left eye *the eye that got operated on* was smaller than my right eye. But now, my left eye is the bigger eye AND my crease doesn’t look right at all. I can’t do my eyeliner the same anymore it’s so depressing. I feel like my surgeon “over corrected” my left eye. He said I have what’s called “hering related right upper eyelid ptosis” but idk.. I cry daily about this

It is likely that the less heavy eyelid will fall at the time of ptosis surgery on the opposite side, bilateral upper eyelid ptosis repair should be discussed and if appropriate, performed. At a minimum, talking about it before surgery is an explanation. After the fact, it sounds like an excuse. You need crease lowering ptosis surgery on the right side. It would be understandable if you no longer have confidence in your original surgeon. However the result on the left side looks good. Your eyes can be your best feature.
