I really do not want surgery. ive read too many botched procedures on this site and its definately a no go for me. I also read that ptosis exercises do not fix droopy eyes. however i am wondering if the exercises even help a little bit. I would be happy if it just barely works. any less eyelid droopiness will do for me.
Answer: Ptosis Repair In my experience, exercises do not help to improve ptosis. I have not seen ptosis improve from patients doing exercises. The best and most predictable treatment is surgical repair. It is important to choose a surgeon who is specifically trained in ptosis surgery and also has a lot of experience doing the surgery. Good Luck.

Answer: No exercise for eyelid ptosis Eyelid ptosis happens because the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid gets stretched/loose from constant work! The muscle lifts the eyelid 20,000 per day! So further exercising not only doesn't help, it can make it worse. The only effective treatment is eyelid ptosis surgery, which can be done under local anesthesia.

Answer: No and it actually might make it worse. As stated by others, most commonly ptosis of the upper eyelid is caused by a disinsertion of the tendon that is used to lift the eyelid. Surgery repairs this disinsertion. "Exercising" the eyelid or manipulating stresses the tissue insertion of the levator and foreseeably will make the problem worse. Ptosis is corrected with surgery.

Answer: Exercises for eyelid droopiness It really depends on what the reasoning is for your ptosis. The most common reason for ptosis is a stretching or loosening of the levator aponeurosis, which is a fibrous ligament (sort of) which connects the levator muscle to your tarsal plate. Because this isn't actually a weak muscle, no matter how much you strengthen the muscle, this ligament isn't going to work any better. The ligament would have to be shortened or reattached surgically.

Answer: Ptosis repair Unfortunately ptosis of the eyelid does not respond to exercises. It is an anatomical problem that needs surgical correction. This is best evaluated and done by an Oculoplastic surgeon. Good luck!
