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.
Answer: You can have surgery for ptosis repeated
You can have surgery for ptosis repeated. Obviously, each time it becomes more difficult and there’s more scar tissue. So, the less surgery, the better. But, if you really need to have the surgery, because the ptosis is either very cosmetically bothersome or blocking your vision, you can often have it repeated. There are multiple types of ptosis surgery to try, depending on the reason for the ptosis.
