Ptosis Surgery with Raman Malhotra

WORTH IT
I had Asian blepharoplasty in Dec 2019 that unfortunately resulted in ptosis in the left eye, this was with another surgeon, not Mr Malhotra.
There wasn't a lot of reviews on ptosis surgery but fortunately I found Mr Malhotra. I consulted with a number of oculoplastic surgeons in London, one of them actually said it wasn't worth undergoing ptosis surgery unless the correction was at least 2mm. My left eye was only 1mm lower than my right eye but it bothered me immensely and made me look tried and old. I found it assuring that during consultation Mr Malhotra said that he had devised his own technique for ptosis correction and was comfortable correcting for small amounts of ptosis.
I had the surgery at the Centre for Sight, even though the ptosis on the right side was minimal, I decided to have surgery on both eyes. The surgery was under sedation and pain free; I did look like I had been in a fight for the first 4-5 days but by 1 week post op I looked pretty normal. I am now 2 months post op and I'm very happy with the results. The lid height and eye shape are very symmetrical and I no longer look tried.
I've included a photo - the top is before, bottom is after. Mr Malhotra's secretary, Gill is also very efficient and always responds to any emails very quickly.
