Thank-you for your query. Ptosis refers to the droopiness of the eyelid from impaired function of the levator muscle, that lifts the upper eyelid. It is not clear from these pictures if you have ptosis, but the slight droopiness in the corner of the eye is not ptosis by itself. Please discuss your concerns with your operating surgeon who can examine you and should be able to help you. All the best!
You have lateral hooding which is excess skin in the lateral portion of the eyelid. The end of a blepharoplasty incision must taper to a point to avoid bunching.

The photograph you have included actually shows very symmetrical and appropriate height and curve of your upper eyelids. Of course, a comparison with your photographs prior to your surgery would help one understand what you mean by "flat eyelids." Here are some basic bits of information that may...
Ptosis can be "subclinical" sometimes. This means that you are able to compensate for it in different ways. Often when double eyelid surgery is performed, it can relieve some of that compensation, and unmask pre-existing ptosis. Its also possible to induce ptosis during double eyelid surgery if...
