Hi Robin..
Welcome to HCM and thanks for the query..
The post op outcome of
ptosis surgery depends on the type and severity of ptosis and the action of the muscles...
After surgery swelling, irritation are common and you feel like there is residual ptosis.. It takes time for stabilization at least 3 months..
After stabilization only we have to think of going for another surgery if it is required..
Was the surgery done on both eyes or only one eye?
Some procedures give better results when done on both eyes even though the presentation is only in one eye..
If the sutures put are non absorbable they can be taken out after stabilization.. The surgeon will take care that they will cause any irritation in the meanwhile..
If they are absorbable you don't have to worry about them..
Wait for few more days and discuss in detail with your doctor about the outcome and need for any further procedure..
Hope I answered your query..Take care...
