Who is the best surgeon in New Jersey for upper eyelid ptosis revision surgery? (photo)

Question

I had ptosis surgery done 9 months back. But instead of improving it became worse and the crease has also disappeared and the droop more visisble. I need a surgeon in new jersey who has vast experience in ptosis revision surgeries.

This is a very complicated surgery. The surgeon I can trust for this procedure is Dr. Jeffrey  Schiller. I have seen him operate many times to learn from him and he handles it very well. He has offices in New Jersey (Edison), Livingston and also in Staten Island.RegardsDr. JDisclaimer:

You are over-correct on the left side and I suspect that your surgeon did not even discuss the possibility of sequential ptosis on the right side if only the left side were corrected.  The retraction does not help here.  You are 9 months out so it is appropriate to consider additional options.  The surgeon recommended by Dr Glasgold does have very good credentials.  I do not know him personally.  However, he does not exclusively practice oculoplastic surgery.  He may be great, but for revisional work like you need, as you have surmised, you will benefit from seeing someone who does many reconstructive cases.  I suggest that you look up oculoplastic surgeons on the American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery website.  They have a geographic directory that will help you identify highly qualified surgeons close to home.  If you don't find what you are looking for consider posting again.

I am a facial plastic surgeon and I routinely refer patients to Joseph Shovlin at outlook eye care for ptosis repair.  Feedback from my patients has been uniformly positive and I would strongly recommend him
