I had 2 ptosis correction surgery. The last one was done 7-8months ago. However, the eyelids looked high, deep set and unnatural, making me look more older. There are also some asymmetry in the eyelids height. One of them is much thicker. Is this an issue that can be resolved by adjusting the eye opening higher/ wider?
