My eyes always appear bulgy and sad. They are tilted downward and there is a huge volume deficit under the eyes and in the cheeks area which pulls the eyes downward even more. One eye is more sunken than the other one. One pupil appears to be higher maybe because of unequal white areas show?! I have always had this problem, but I had a ptosis correction two years ago which maybe made things even worse. Any suggestions please for this problem?

Answer: Most likely in addition to ptosis, you have always had an issue with the lateral canthus. The outer corners of the eyelids are low, This would benefit from elevation surgically along with correcting the position of the upper eyelids. You need a detailed physical examination. The prior ptosis surgery will make correcting the upper eyelid position more complicated but not impossible. There is no substitute for a detailed in person consultation. You should be skeptical of surgeons who claim that your presurgical consultation can be accomplished online or via Zoom. Your eyes can be your best feature.
