Excess skin after ptosis repair? 2 weeks post-op. (photo)

Asked By:tfult in San Diego, CA

I had a ptosis on my left eye 2 weeks ago. The swelling and the redness are mostly gone now, but my eyelids don't look the same. There seems to be some "excess skin" on my left eyelid now. Is it because it's still recovering or did the surgery fail?
