How high to lift the lids??

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am currently searching archived messages because two of my

daughter 's doctors have a difference of opinion, and I'm

searching for more info. Her first surgeon planned to lift her

upper lids quite high. " Crank them up there " were his words. He

went on an extended medical leave the week before 's

scheduled surgery. We got a new surgeon who only raised the

lids to the pupil in order to protect the eye from too much

exposure. Now, a year later, he is scheduled to re-do the ptosis

repair in January because it is still too low. For those of you

who've had surgery, I'm wondering what other doctors'

philosophys are on how high is safe to raise the lids and

wondering if we should seek a third opinion before going

through the surgery again.

Thanks for your input!! Dawn
