As the day goes on, my left eyelid becomes droopy and sags. When I first wake up and throughout the morning it stays pretty "normal" but then starts to look wonky as the day progresses. Can Botox/eyelid filler fix this or is this a case for surgery?

Answer: What to do for an eyelid that changes during the day? Thank you so much for the excellent question. It is not uncommon for eyelid position to fluctuate throughout the day. If the eyelid begins to droop (ptosis), eyedrops called Upneeq can be used to elevate the lid. Consult an oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and treatment guidance. Good luck,

Answer: Daily worsening of unilateral eyelid ptosis Daily worsening of unilateral eyelid ptosis can be related to medical conditions affecting nerve and muscle function like myasthenia gravis. Don’t jump to any conclusions, but you’re probably should get a work up for this period Start by talking to your primary care doctor and ask for a referral to an Oculoplastic surgeon and or neurologist.
