My right eyelid is droopy and has been getting progressively worse. I'd say I noticed this 3 years ago and this is what me eyes look like today. (Friends and family say they don't notice it until I point it out, but it's glaringly obvious to me.) Is surgery a viable option for me? When I'm tired, my eyes feel "off" or "uneven" and it makes me want to just close the droopy one. Would surgery be able to fix that "uneven" feeling and is it worth the risk?

Answer: Diagnosing the cause of your droopy eyelid (ptosis) before corrective surgery with an oculoplastic surgeon
Every physician is difficult, but waiting a few weeks to pluck strong hairs would be okay. Its probably better to wait to shave and wax then should be about a month for your surgery. We recommend 2 weeks of limited strenuous activity, but with an eyelid lift, it would be at your discretion...
Only a fool would operate on your eyes. You don't need any surgery at this time. I would agree with the other doctor in this forum that your lips are over-injected and put your face out of balance. Perhaps you just got injected? Either way, stay out of the doctor's office...
We all want instant results, but the reality is that it may take up to 6 months for all the swelling to disappear. Things that you can do to decrease swelling, include watching your salt intake. It is not uncommon at this time in the recovery to look very different from the final result. Share...
