1.5mm ptosis in my right eye. Been to 3 doctors they all said they don’t recommend a surgery (Photo)

1 year ago I had what was called putter man surgery for my ptosis on my right eye but even now I still have a 1.5mm difference in my eyelids. Been to 3 doctors and they all recommend i don’t get another surgery and that it looks good. I also had a procedure done 6 months ago to fix the crease on my eyelid. and after all this i began to notice i have something called “lid lag”. Both of these issues and all the doctors said they don’t recommend doing anything at all. What should i do?? :(

Yes you appear to have upper eyelid ptosis. Best to see an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation and consideration of ptosis surgery. That is different than upper blepharoplasty but can be combined if desired.
