I have hypertropia in my right eye & I may also have eyelid ptosis. Can anyone advise? (Photos)

I noticed the lazy eye first only a year ago at the age of 26, then went to an optician to have it confirmed. My right iris is positioned higher than my left eye. Looking back on photos I’ve always had it but it has gotten worse with age. I’ve recently read about eyelid ptosis which I am wondering if I also have. I would really appreciate with advice on how to fix it because it is really bothering me.

I’m the only triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon all around Europe. I’m just focused on this issue. I am a doctor who goes to almost eve...

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow,...

Well, your statement says it all: "This worked very well, and the eyelid feels comfortable and closes better, but not quite all the way." The fact that the eyelids do not close all the way means that a ptosis correction will increase your lagophthalmos (inability to close your eyelids)....

It’s difficult to determine what is going on from your photo. It appears that your left upper eyelid may be droopy, and that your left brow is lifted, compensating for the droop. But again very difficult to say from your photo. I see many patients with very obvious eyelid asymmetry, but i...

I am in the business of aesthetically fixing eyelids that other have not been able to fix. The fact that you have had two failed ptosis surgeries is very common. The Müllerectomy, your first ptosis surgery commonly fails. Surgeons persist with this surgery because it is so easy, not because it ...
