since birth, I have had, what I thought was ptosis. It wasn't very noticeable at first, but it has gotten worse. I went to an eye specialist when I was 6(twelve years ago) and he diagnosed me with ptosis, of course. Upon going to a cosmetic surgeon last month, he informed me that I didn't have ptosis, but infact, had a sunken eye. I was told that a surgery involving a spacer behind my eye would be the only real fix. My question is, is this dangerous? I've heard that some people weren't able to close their eye after this surgery! I've heard quite a few horror stories. Has anyone had this surgery? is it worth it? Would a cosmetic surgery be better? Sorry to drudge on, but I'm quite scared. Thank you.
