Do I have ptosis? I have always been self conscious about my right eye (Photo)

Thank you for the question and for sharing your photo.Your right eyelid is ptotic, but your left is slightly low too. If you have surgery on the right upper lid, which is possible, then your left might drop as well. This can be lifted too if needed. See an oculoplastic surgeon in office for in depth evaluation and treatment.

Yes, it does appear that you have ptosis of the right upper lid. The left upper lid also looks a bit low and may also meet criteria for repair.It would be best to have an in-person evaluation with an experienced oculoplastic surgeon who will be able to determine the best surgical approach to repair this.

You have correctly self-diagnosed eyelid ptosis.  The position of your eyelid margin is below the limbus (where the dark circle of the eye meets the white part).  In fact, you may have ptosis of your left eye as well.This is correctible with surgery.DrH

Yes. You have ptosis on both sides but worse on the right.  More than likely you were born this way but often this becomes more noticeable as one ages.  It is probably affecting your vision so surgery may be covered by insurance.  I would recommend consulting with an oculoplastic specialist. Good luck.

Hi. From your photo, it does look like you have ptosis. If you have always had it, then it is likely congenital ptosis. This can be corrected with ptosis repair surgery. I recommend scheduling consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon so they can measure your eyelids and eyelid muscle function. This will determine what the your best treatment options are.
