Surgeon Accidentally Cut Levator Muscle During Bleph Revision

This is one situation where I think intervening as early as possible can be very helpful.  I would encourage your surgeon to operate immediately.  However, reasonable surgeons can disagree on this point.  The one thing I would advise you is that it is very likely that you will need more than one surgery to fix this problem.  You have taken the right step and seen an oculoplastic surgeon.  A highly experienced oculoplastic surgeon will be able to take the eyelid apart and determine what has been done and correctly reassemble the eyelid.  However, the ultimate goal is to control the shape, and position of the upper eyelid.  This requires finesse and that usually means future surgical refinement.  Please consider sharing your ultimate experience with the Realself community.

You have a difficult problem and should probably seek more than one opinion. The most important thing is to preserve your vision and make sure your cornea is protected by the lid.

I would get another opinion from a very experienced ophthalmic surgeon since it is difficult to tell what is what so soon after your surgery.

You have a tough problem.  There is probably extensive scar tissue by now in the eyelid.  The most important thing is to have an eyelid that closes probably to protect your eye.  Recommend consult with an oculoplastic surgeon.

It is very unusual to cut the levator muscle and then over correct it with one stich in office. You need early intervention and please see more than one plastic surgeon

You were right to see another surgeon for a second opinion. Intervening on a levator problem early may be the best thing for you.  Good luck.
