2 failed ptosis surgeries. What are some options now? (Photos)

Asked By:KSmith1094 in Riverview, Florida

I had my first ptosis surgery in Feb. 2015, done internally. I had a correction surgery performed by a different surgeon in June 2017, done externally this time. I feel as though this one has failed also. Not sure what my options are at this point. I had a difficult time with recovery both times. I’ve tried the Upneeq drops as well, they are okay but seems to open both top and bottom lid and make my eye look overcorrected. I also have noticeable dryness with the drops. Insight much appreciated!
