Congenital ptosis

Congenital ptosis can be a difficult problem to correct. In fact, if the levator muscle is very weak, the best any surgeon can do is to perform frontalis sling operation so that the patient can use his/her forehead muscle to assist in lifting the eyelid. Looking at your photo, improvement can be made to elevate your eyelid but you have to be realistic about your situation and not expect perfection because latter is not possible. See an oculoplastic surgeon. more
