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.

Answer: Eyebrow ptosis and eyelid ptosis thank you for your question. If your eyebrow issue is caused by your eyelid ptosis than it will correct itself after the eyelid ptosis repair. However, it is difficult to give you exact recommendations without photo or an in person physical exam. You can always repair eyebrow position to your liking after the eyelid ptosis repai if the problem persists.It's best to have a thorough in person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss all of your treatment options.

Answer: Will ptosis repair improve my elevated brow Thank you for sharing your question. If the eyelid is obstructing your vision, then it is likely that your eyebrow will drop following the ptosis repair. Good luck,
