I have a single eyelid and they won’t open enough unless I raise my eyebrows and crease my forehead. I was wondering if I can just get ptosis to remove excess fat and tighten muscle to make my eyes open more without any effort of raising my eyebrows and also not create any crease aka double eyelid because when I looked at some results, the after pic is always with double eyelid and I prefer single eyelids.

Answer: Ptosis surgery keeping the skin incision very low and hidden Thanks for the question about a challenging area ptosis surgery. Essentially probably yes, you can avoid getting a visible double eyelid, however, the oculoplastic surgeon has to carefully assess you with photos and eyelid measurements and advise as there are different types of ptosis surgery available. The surgery chosen will depend largely on the findings of where your eyelid lifting muscle pull currently is and how strong the pull is. This is the elevator muscle and it has to me measured. Sometimes it is possible to do the ptosis surgery through a low skin crease around 2 too 3 mm and this remains soft and effectively hidden once healed as there is a soft fold over it once the eyelid is raised by the ptosis surgery. Surgery is done under local anaesthetic as that gives full co-operation and helps localise the muscle more easily.How much or whether you require blepharoplasty at the same time or later is also assessed by the oculoplastic surgeon. The ptosis surgery is the main operation to lift the drooping eyelids.
