Not happy with my ptosis surgery. Is it reversible and adjustable? (Photo)

April 20, 2023
Asked By:kyred94 in Vancouver, BC

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).
