My eyes don't open very far. Very little of the whites of my eyes can be seen. Can this be corrected?
I am not talking about a Blepharoplasty, although I may get that, also, if this other procedure can be done.
Opening the eyes up wider, and not adressing th eskin weighing down on the eyelid is refering to repair of upper eyelid ptosis. This involves tucking the muscle and can be done form the from or the back of the upper eyelid. After surgery one can expect wider opened eyes, but less eyelid platform showming (like roling up blinds on a window).
Good luck
If you do not see any white of your eye and your limbus is partially covered, then you may have upper eyelid ptosis. This can be easily assessed in the office. There are several different operation to treat this problem.
