Lower eyelids drooping, can it be fixed? (Photo)

I appreciate your question and photos. Based on the images, I can see the scleral show beneath your pupils, which would indicate lower eyelid surgery. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a very experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who has the expertise to diagnose your condition and create a customized surgical plan to treat it.

Dear grejon10:With close exam of your photographs, I do see the problem you are talking about. The lower eyelid is definitely in a lower position on both the left eye, but even more so on the right eye, as evidenced by significant scleral show (white part of your eye) on the right. You are quite young to have this occur, but it can. The problem you have is not only cosmetic in nature, but often times with the lower position, your tears move in the wrong direction and produce dry eye symptoms. I believe that a lateral canthopexy could elevate and tighten your lower lids, which would achieve your cosmetic goals and may also help the eyes moisturize better. This is a fairly straight forward procedure, and I would encourage you to seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon that does eye work. Sincerely, Dann Leonard, MD
