Q: Eyelid ptosis or extra skin? asked by Benny2367 Chicago
A:
The position of the eyelid margin of the left upper lid is lower as compared to the right upper lid. This is termed ptosis (or blepharoptosis). There are different varieties of ptosis with different causes. Luckily, these are often corrected with the appropriate procedure.
With a history of ptosis on the other lid, you should see an oculofacial plastic surgeon who can evaluate your ptosis, rule out rare and serious causes of ptosis, and help you to find a solution.
