What are my choices after other eyelid looks droopy after ptosis was repaired on one eye? (Photos)

Shawn78713
The other eyelid now looks droopy, What are my choices? Another Surgery? Filler? I had a mild ptosis on my left eye. Surgery was 2 years ago, from the inside of the eye, with local sedation by an oculoplastic surgeon. First 3 months my eyes looked symmetrical, but then the operated eyelid opened up a notch more. It's not overcorrected, but just right how I like it. But now my non operated eye looks very droopy, compared to the eye that was fixed. It's very bothersome to me. My non operated eyelid looks the same as before my surgery. So no herrings affect. Thank you
