Asked By:mbooth

Hi there Last thursday, I had "Unilateral Ptosis repair" done on my left eye as it was slightly drooping. The surgeon didnt cut my eye like Blapharoplasty, he went through my eyelid (flipped it upside down) Its been 4 days since the operation and my left eye is WORSE looking than when I went in for the operation. Apparently it can take awhile for the swelling to subside. How long is awhile? Its embarrassing I look like this now, as before the operation, i looked better!
