I had eyelid surgery 9 months ago. My left eye began sagging a month ago? Do I need to have a revision surgery and should I return to my original surgeon? I'm unsure.

Answer: Upper eyelid Blepharoplasty It looks like you have significant upper eyelid ptosis. This can be improved slightly with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. And more solid approach would be skin/muscle(orbicularis) removal and repositioning of the levator muscle.Surgeons usually take care of their own patients, but sometimes it may be appropriate to find a more talented provider. Consider consulting with senior oculoplastic surgeons in your community. To make an accurate assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure, we usually need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before, and after pictures, then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took. If you’re consulting for a second opinion, then come prepared to bring with you a complete set of proper before and after pictures and a copy of your operative report. These are part of your medical record and are available from your current provider office if you request them. Best, Mats hagstrom MD.
