Will My Child Be Able To Blink Post Surgery For Marcus Gunn Syndrome?

My daughter has Marcus Gunn Syndrome plus ptosis in her right eye. She received ptosis surgery at age 5 and now again at age 9. My questions - if we do the Marcus Gunn surgery will she be able to blink and close her eyes at night? Will she have to use her brow muscles to open her eyes? What is the success rate of the surgery?
