Hi, This is my second ptosis surgery I've had in 6 months. My surgeon has tried two different ways now, first time was with dissolvable stitches as ptosis is mild. Was certain this next one would be much better, however I'm currently in my 7th week and it still looks no better. Looked better first couple of weeks, since having the stitches out it seems to have just returned to where it's always been. First image is before surgery vs 7 weeks later
