Eyelid Ptosis or Extra Skin?

If one has eyelid ptosis, one has drooping of eyelids below the limbus of the eyelid normally within 2mm. If you have true eyelid ptosis which droops down to your upper or middle then you should have both of them corrected simultaneously for an optimal result. These are completely different operative procedures.

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.
