Heavy Eyebrow Feeling - Eyelid Ptosis or Eyebrow Ptosis?

October 2, 2010
Asked By:GeorgeTown in Oakland

My eyebrows feel super heavy on my eyelids, making my eyelids feel very heavy. Is it ptosis?. I did have asian eyelid surgery (along with a ptosis repair) about 4 months ago. My brows might have dropped because they feel like weights above my eyes. The only relief I get is when I lift my eyebrows with my hands or tense up my forehead to slightly raise the brows. Then my eyes feel light, very good. What can fix this)? I'm only 19.
