I have had a ptosis repair surgery done on both eyes, at different times about 3-4 years ago. This is what I’m left with. How can I get them to both look alike? I honestly wish I would have never gotten either surgery to begin with. It seems as if my right eye is being pulled to the right and it creases oddly or maybe has saggy skin. And my left eye has too much skin on the lid. What can I do? Also do insurances normally cover these procedures? Please help me. :(
