Ptosis coming back?

WORTH IT$6,800
I'm so sad...I'm about 2 months post-op, and I can see that the ptosis is coming back in my right eye. There is a followup at 3 months, but I'm so disappointed. I was so happy with my eyes:( I wonder what made the ptosis correction not last.

any update on this?
Your eyes look beautiful.
Your eyes actually are quite symemtrical. Don't forget it will take 12 to 18 momths for the final result. My eyes are worst than yours after the upper eyelids surgery, but I am happy to wait little bit longer, sometime the eye muscles will try to move back to the correct position. Keep cutting the skin con only make the scars worse.
Can you please do an update? Did the ptosis come back? Are you still happy with the results?

I still see slight ptosis in my right eye, but I am fine with it. I would much rather have undercorrection than overcorrection. That was one thing that I initially did not like about Dr. Taban, but now am grateful for, is that he is on the more conservative side.

Sorry here's the picture

Adding a picture to show the "peaking" of my eyelid as a result of a botched revision at image plastic surgery. To this day, it makes me so angry how the doctor and staff told me that nothing was wrong with my eyes and that they were "pretty". The doctor denied that he made any mistake and told me that he made my eyes much better than before and would not give me a refund or offer to try and fix the problem.

You mentioned you had to sleep with your eyes open. What caused your inability to close your eyes fully? And did that issue resolve itself?
It was because of overcorrected ptosis in my left eye. I'm not sure if it still happens now. I'll have to ask my husband..lol
Your eyes look beautiful. How is the peaking now? I have the same problem :(
