Is ptosis repair permanent? (Photo)

Question

I now have Ptosis in the right eye due to a throat surgery that damaged the nerve that controls the right side of my face (Horner syndrome)

Thank you for sharing your question and photo. You are a good candidate for surgical repair of the droopy eyelid. It usually is a one time procedure, but as you age the eyelids (including the unoperated lid) can fall. See an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for evaluation and discussion of proper treatment plan.Good luck,

Mehryar (Ray) Taban, MD, FACS · Answer

You are a candidate for right upper eyelid ptosis surgery. Although not permanent, it is long term (many years), perhaps even longer than the other side getting droopy with age.
