How can I fix my droopy eye? (Photo)

Question

Do I need ptosis repair, blepharoplasty or unilateral brow lift to fix droopy eye?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.​

Perhaps you need right upper blepharoplasty only but need more detailed evaluation by expert to determine accurately.

Bruce K. Smith, MD · Answer

You would be best to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon and have an in-person consultation to discuss your specific concerns and expectations for your brow and lids. It does not appear from your photos that you need a ptosis repair.
