Will a Müllerectomy for mild ptosis also fix the uneven eyebrows caused by the ptosis?

January 8, 2017
Asked By:Heisenberg555 in Illertissen, DE

I have developed a slight ptosis on my right eyelid which I believe has been caused by prolonged contact use. The right eyebrow is also slightly raised on the right side which after research I assume is caused by the ptosis. I've read that surgery to fix ptosis often fixes the eyebrow issue but I was wondering if that was true for all ptosis repair including Müller surgery which is used for only mild cases.
