I've had a droopy eyelid since I was born. But It seems that the eyebrow has risen up really high as I age. These photos show the relaxed position on the top. Raising my brows in the middle. And pulling down on my brows in the bottom picture. The brows seem to get very close the same position other than in the relaxed position. Can this be fixed without major surgery to the eyebrow muscle?
Answer: Eyelid ptosis Hello Jimmy,From your history, it seems to suggest a congenital (born with the problem) nature to your ptosis, but from your photos it appears your ptosis has developed over time and most likely worsened. Ptosis surgery is relatively straightforward and can improve the symmetry of your eyes. Best of luck!

Answer: One very high eyebrow and a droopy eyelid. This is a common problem. The issue with your brow actually results from the droop in your eyelid. Repair of your eyelid ptosis should improve the brow asymmetry without any brow surgery. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Raised eyebrow from droopy eyelid The eyebrow is raising more and more because it is trying harder and harder to lift the droopy eyelid which is worsening with age. The treatment is eyelid ptosis surgery.

Answer: You use your forehead muscles to elevate the eyelids. The right upper eyelid is heavier than the left upper eyelid. Both are heavy. The forehead is doing what it can to compensate the upper eyelid ptosis. The answer here is to correct the heavy upper eyelids with ptosis surgery. See an oculoplastic surgeon for this. Much of this surgery should be covered by your health insurance.

Answer: Very high eyebrow with droopy eyelid Your droopy upper eyelid is lower in position than it should be. This is called ptosis. Your eyebrow on that side is higher because it is raising to try and compensate for the lower eyelid. There is a surgical procedure which can raise the position of your upper eyelid, and this should in turn, help with the higher brow. I would recommend seeing an oculoplastic surgeon to discuss possible repair of your eyelid.
