Asked By:ness_marie in Visalia, CA

What is going on with my eye?? A few weeks after surgery my eye looked great. I was so happy with the result. it has been two months since my second ptosis surgery with a board certified oculoplastic surgeon. I expected so much more and now I have this. I saw my doctor two weeks ago and all he talked about was the 1mm difference in my eyes. What about my eyelid? he mentioned possibly a third surgery. I am hesitant to return to the same surgeon. I would really love some advice.
