Everyone’s eyelids are close to their orbital bone. The issue is what do you want to accomplish, either making around eye shape into more almond shape or opening the actual eye because you have low lying lids. The orbital bones would not be a cause for limitation.

Ptosis surgery is a complicated surgery. If it’s too early in your recovery, most of it can be attributed to swelling; initially ice, call compresses would help and then light massage after the stitches are removed and you have permission from your surgeon.. However, if after a few months of surgery, you continue to have this problem you need to consult again with your Plastic Surgeon to see if a repair is warranted.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like you were dealing with a common issue with lower eyelids that worsened. at this point it would be prudent to consult with a plastic surgeon that does eyelids or an oculoplastic surgeon to discuss your options. Good luck.
