Answer: Why your eyes get small when smiling You have detachment of the muscle that opens your eyes, causing the eyes to half-way close. typically, patients will raise the forehead to help open the eyes. When you smile, the brows drop and are no longer able to assist in eye opening - at this point you are seeing the true position of the eyelid. Ptosis repair will place your eyelids into the proper position. You may consider combining it with an endoscopic browlift if you want to maximize the appearance around the eyes.

Answer: Botox is not going to help your upper eyelid ptosis-don't waste your money. Botox is nice and all but it really does not address ptosis. Surgery is necessary to improve ptosis. Ptosis surgery strengthens the opening effect of the levator palepebrae superioris muscle. This muscle inserts with a tendon into the upper eyelid. By shortening the tendon, the eye opens more effectively. Generally surgery is performed under light intravenous sedations in an accredited surgery center. Oculoplastic surgeons perform these surgeries. While other subspecialties my dabble in ptosis surgery, you should seek a true specialist for this. The American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery maintains a regional directory on their website that can help you find a highly qualified surgeon.

Answer: Ptosis surgery Thanks for the question and photo. It would be best to see multiple photos of your eyes to better evaluate your condition. I’d recommend seeing what Botox would do before any surgery.
