Second Ptosis Surgery- Makes Me Feel Self Conscious.

ORIGINAL POST

Second Ptosis Surgery

I had ptosis surgery in June of 2021 for congenital ptosis. The doctor used levator resection technique but failed and I had a revision 3 weeks ago. I was left with too much skin and I think it is over corrected this time. Im not sure if given the opportunity I would do it again. My eye doesn't close all the way and the extra skin hangs over the eyelashes. Very annoying and makes me feel self conscious.

Would you mind sharing the name of the surgeon(s) who performed your surgery? And btw, despite the over-correction, your eyes are still beautiful.
Hello, I had a similar result with my ptosis surgery. I went back and they removed the extra skin, which left me with a better crease. Time does improve it and changes to the face can be hard to mentally process.
