Age 25, multiple facial injuries from sports. Would I be a candidate for ptosis surgery? Would insurance also cover it? (photo)

Question

I’m 25 year old male with multiple facial injuries from sports, mostly baseball and football. I have had drooping eyelids present for the past few years but I have started to see noticeable drooping in pictures and would like it corrected.

Thank you for posting your question here!My answer will be based on the limited information and pictures provided , for an in depth and personalized advice please consult with your surgeon in person.I am sorry you have to deal with this issue , unfortunately I cannot make an accurate diagnosis based purely on this singular picture since you are looking down in it , an in person exam with standardized photography. Certain insurance providers will cover ptosis surgery if you can prove that you have visual field restrictions from the ptosis which can be tested by an ophthalmologist.I hope this helps!, best of luck!
