My eyes are uneven especially in pictures/ smiling , do i need ptosis correction or an eyelash lift? I dont think another double eyelid surgery would be helpful in my case. Please let me know what would be the best route for even and more open eyes.

The internal ptosis repair method involves shortening the conjunctiva and muller's muscle. If you still have enough redundant tissue, it may be possible to repeat the procedure, but if there is not enough tissue and it is attempted, it could lead to scarring of the eyelid to the eyeball and...
