How Many Ptosis Surgeries Can 1 Eyelid Safely Handle?

March 7, 2011
Asked By:Dalmat in Sydney, 02

I have had 3 but my surgeon bungled all of them. 2 were one week apart last year and he says they rather count as 1. I am considering one final attempt with another surgeon but am not sure if my eyelid can physically handle it. There is some lose skin and a crater deep scar that may need to be removed. Appreciate the advice.
