Is this ptosis? Can it be fixed with ptosis surgery? (Photo)

Question

My eyelids droop a bit (a little more on the right side) and I’m wondering if this can be fixed by ptosis surgery? I would like to look more awake along with them being even and am wondering the price range on this?

The photo is somewhat difficult to evaluate because your eyes appear to be looking slightly downward, which can make the upper eyelids look lower than they actually are.
There may be mild ptosis, but I would recommend additional photographs taken looking straight ahead, ideally from the front and from both sides, before making a more definite assessment.
If the main issue is true ptosis, it can usually be corrected surgically. By adjusting the eyelid position, ptosis surgery can create a more open, alert and symmetrical appearance while still aiming for a natural result.
