Fat Transfer: Q&A
Ask a Question
Eye Ptosis. Can you tell me if I have had nerve damage and what the best treatment is?
Hi I had fat transfered to the temples and directly after the procedure I couldent open my left eye without using my fingers. After a few hours it was a little better. 3 years on and the left eyelid is lower than the right by about 2 to 3 mm. I look weird. :/

The answer to your question involves a more detailed history and physical so we can get to the bottom of it

It could be either, but eyebrow ptosis would be more likely after the procedure you described. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

It is impossible to tell without a photo. Eyelid ptosis is unlikely after fat transfer. You may be describing brow ptosis. See an oculoplastic surgeon for proper evaluation and treatment options.

Eyelid Ptosis
It is possible that you had some nerve injury but a physical examination would be necessary to consider all possible causes and to try to make a specific diagnosis.

Cosmetic Surgery is an Art and a Science
Without a photo it is hard to evaluate. The nerve that opens the eyelid is well protected inside your bone structure. An eyebrow ptosis could be better explained. Avoid using this forum for the doctor's opinion when you should go back to your surgeon
