Ptosis overcorrected 21 days ago. Should I consider a revision now or 6 months later? (Photos)

Friendly1346
On 8/21/19, I got my double eye lid and ptosis surgery done. My pupil exposure prior to surgery was symmetrical. My right eye was slightly over-corrected, and my left, severely under-corrected. On 8/28/19, I underwent a revision of my left eye. Immediately after the surgery, my left eye looked more normal. But the following day, the left eye went droopy again. My eye right almost looks normal, but I can constantly feel the muscle tension. I get a headache from it. Do I need surgery again now?
