I had eye surgery for ptosis on both eyes back in February this year. My doctor suggested fixing both eyes, although I was mainly worried about my left eye. After the surgery, I'm not happy with how my eyelids look. My left eye looks really hooded and the epicanthic fold is gone, and my right eye covers a bit of my pupil making it look angled. I just want to make my eyes look more natural and symmetrical, but I don't know where to get help (many doctors don't do revision eyelid surgery).

Answer: Ptosis surgery I'm sorry to hear that you're not happy with the results of your ptosis surgery. If you're considering revision eyelid surgery to improve the appearance of your eyelids, it's important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who specializes in eyelid surgery and has experience in revision eyelid surgery. You may want to consider consulting with an oculoplastic surgeon, who is a specialist in eyelid and facial plastic surgery. Oculoplastic surgeons have specialized training in both ophthalmology and plastic surgery, which makes them uniquely qualified to perform eyelid surgery and address issues related to eyelid function and appearance. During your consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your eyelids and discuss your concerns and goals for surgery. They may also perform additional tests to assess the function of your eyelids and determine the best surgical approach to achieve your desired results. It's important to have realistic expectations for revision eyelid surgery, as it can be more challenging than initial surgery and may not always achieve the exact results that you desire. However, a skilled and experienced surgeon can often improve the appearance of the eyelids and provide a more natural and symmetrical result. In summary, if you're considering revision eyelid surgery to improve the appearance of your eyelids after ptosis surgery, it's important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon who specializes in eyelid surgery and has experience in revision eyelid surgery. Consult with an oculoplastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and goals for surgery and to determine the best surgical approach for your individual needs. Best of luck !

Answer: Revision ptosis surgery Thank you for your question and photos. I agree that the curve of your right upper lid is off. The medial (inner) part is low. Revision surgery can be challenging. You should make an appointment with a fellowship trained ASOPRS affiliated Oculoplastic surgeon for an in person exam and consultation. Best of luck
