Reoccurring eyelid ptosis, how many times can I get a bleph redone?

suzannedee
I have Ehlers danlos syndrome which contributes to my extremely lax skin. I am 20 and already I can see one of my eyelids is starting to sag. I heard at an Ehlers danlos support group of a few people who have needed multiple blephs because their lids descended so much they could hardly see. I am worried that if I get this done within the next few years I will just need it repeated every +/- 10 years just like some other Ehlers danlos people. How many times can someone get a bleph redone?
